Do you support 911 calls?Yes. Ooma provides E911 service where supported. We will collect your address when you register your Ooma device online, and send it to emergency response personnel when you dial 911. Since Ooma works over your Internet connection, you will need to call from a mobile phone if your Internet connection is down. If you're concerned about relying on your Internet for phone service, we've built the Ooma system to work with a landline back-up. In this case, your 911 calls will always be routed over your landline.

I do not know because I have not had the need to do so. I'm sure it's a possibility because it's connected with the home address which is one of the criteria for a 911 call so that the location could be ascertain easily. Hope this help. The unit is amazing and it's far more superior to MagicJack. It's the best phone unit in the market today.

does the wireless adaptor serve the purpose of internet or is it just to use the devise without the cod?
1458662
Yes, but it is slightly different. When you get your ooma, you have to register it which is completely free. The address you enter is the address that 911 gets. You just have to remember to update your address if you move here is the answer ooma.com gives: Do you support 911 calls? Yes. Ooma provides E911 service where supported.

I'm assuming you are asking if you can call 911 from this device. This is not the actual phone. It is the device that gives you a dial tone via the internet. You will need to have a phone connected to this device to be able to use it. Once a phone is connected, then yes, you can call 911.

Yes. The selling point here is the shelf life of the battery and the price, not the ability to call 911.

Yes - if you enter 911 in your contact list as ("Emergency", for example) - then you can assign "Emergency" one of the single speed dial numbers. I have never had my s390g "pocket dial" 911 or any other number. When the phone locks, it LOCKS - and you have to hit "unlock", then "ok" to work any function on the phone.

yes, all phones and phone services sold are mandated by law to comply with 911 functionality. If Magic Jack didn't comply, it would be out of business fast.

If the door is locked they will knock it down to get in. As far as dialing directly to the station you will get a faster response call 911.

That system is very limited, it didn't support my 911 emergency dial up, so I don't believe so. I have Dish HD so I signed up for their phone & internet service and it works fine.

You need a smartphone. Yes it calls the number you program into the unit to notify you of the alarm going off and the mic picks up noise around it. You can use the unit to call out too just like any phone.

We set up 911 as the last number to dial if the regency button was pushed which means if none of us answer the alert 911 would be alerted. We have not tried to dial or set up 911 in any other form. I hope this helps.

As the other responses states, yes you can.You are able to program up to 4 different sets of numbers that is up to 32 digits long.Include any long distant prefix, pauses if needed, area code, any prefix numbers, and the number itself.The `911' is already set by the factory, and can't be changed.But if set the unit to `Friends Only' you will be able to bypass the `911' mode.Hope this helpsAlso you can download the `Instruction Manual' if you do a search.

Yes you can make calls. It's sort of uncomfortable up against your ear and the sound is a bit muffled

No. 911 is part of the switched telephone network. A cell phone is a specialized radio that communicates with the switched telephone network, so you can reach 911 with it.If you're talking about communicating with the responders to 911 calls, like police and firefighters, the answer is: it depends. Some responders use frequencies the Baofeng can transmit and receive on, but it would be illegal.Many of the responders have gone to something called trunked radio systems, which works something like a private cellular system, and the Baofeng wouldn't do anything useful trying to talk to a trunked system.

Well, Yes & No. If your 911 dispatch center uses VHF or UHF frequencies then yes. Once programmed with the proper frequencies & codes you can receive & transmit but, it does not have the capability of being in "silent mode" waiting on "tones" (if that is the type of system your area uses) to start the radio alarm on for your department. Most fire, police & EMS are going to the 800mhz, Trunking, P25 systems and the radios are very costly at this time.

Yes, it's comparable with any phone system. It dials only one number (911) and you talk directly with the 911 operator. The biggest problem is having it on you when you need it.

Hi. This isn't responsable for controller the call it's only the appliance, but the Skype can make local calls, distance calls or international call. You always you dial to use (country number)+(state number)+(your number). Like 5511XXXXXXXX in my case. This not work for 911 calls. You will need use your cellphone for this. Regards
1261581
Sure. It's just a small cordless phone that only dials one number (911). It will dial that one number just like any phone.

i am not sure about putting 911 on speed dial but i don't see why not. as i never need to call 911 for emergencies, pressing a couple buttons doesn't seem that bad. also if you mean you want to call 911 when the screen is out, then i am pretty sure you can't do that, even with other kinds of contacts.

Donna: My home landline service is thru the local cable company and the Guardian Alert works just fine. However, you (as did I) must make sure that your cable phone service provides *your* caller i.d. (your phone number, name, address) on your outgoing call(s). Most do these days, and you can verify it does simply by calling someone you know that has CID to see if your info comes up on their CID display. Sorry if this sounds condescending, but there's no point in buying Guardian Alert if you don't have an outgoing CID from your "cable phone connection." To be absolutely certain, call your local non-emergency (non-911) police number and explain that you want to verify your CID. They will be happy to accommodate your request because it ensures prompt and accurate response if you have a future 911 call. Btw, you can go to this web address and download a complete instruction manual (click on "Instructions V9.2 English) to read about its cable phone connections and everything else involving the Guardian Alert: http://www.logicmark.com/downloads/
