Tot dies after Internet 911 call fails to reach dispatchers
"The EMS investigation centres on why the Voice-over-Internet protocol company's call centre did not appear to transfer the emergency phone call to Calgary's 911 dispatch."
A friend had a situation where a foster child was choking. They had called 911 using a cell phone. But the 911 call was answered in a different city. The operator insisted that address didn't exist. The operator didn't think to ask what city they were in.
Also if your ADSL or cable modem and router aren't on a Uninterruptible Power Supply then your Internet phone is not going to work in a power failure. I'd suggest testing that this will run for at least five or ten hours every year by unplugging the UPS from the wall socket. Batteries have a shorter life after a few years.
