Feature List
911
ComCanada offers a form of 9-1-1 service (9-1-1 Dialing) that is similar to traditional 9-1-1 (911) service but has some important differences and limitations when compared with enhanced 9-1-1 service (E911) available in most locations in conjunction with traditional telephone service. With both traditional 9-1-1 and E911 service, your call is sent directly to the nearest emergency response centre. In addition, with E911 service, your call back number and address are visible to the emergency response centre call-taker. With ComCanada 's 9-1-1 service, your call is sent to a national emergency call centre. The call centre operator will confirm your location information and then transfer your 9-1-1 call to the emergency response centre nearest your location. You should be prepared to confirm your address and call-back number with the operator. If you use a WiFi, ComCanada V-Phone or SoftPhone, your 9-1-1 calls will be routed to the national emergency response centre; however, emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location information. Do not hang up unless told directly to do so and if disconnected, you should dial 9-1-1 again.
Remember that the 9-1-1 Dialing service will not function in the event of a power or broadband outage or if your broadband, ISP or ComCanada service is suspended or terminated.
You should inform any household residents, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the ComCanada service, of the important differences in and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 Dialing service as compared with E911 service, as set out above.
