Modern VoIP phone technology makes accessing 911 emergency services a new challenge.
In todays modern society we expect to be able to dial 911 and access emergency services.
When using a standard home or business phone the 911 operator is able to determine the address of the phone. This is particularly important if you are unable to speak or just dont have time too.
A Voice of Internet Protocol (VoIP) service allows you to make and receive calls using a high speed Internet connection. It is used instead of the traditional phone service as a way of obtaining free or very cheap calls.
Basically VoIP works by using a special VoIP phone or by using a special adapter to connect your normal phone with the internet. You can use a VoIP service from your home or office and now can access your VoIP service anywhere you have a broadband connection. You just plug into the broadband where ever you are, you can travel to another city or state and still use your same phone number.
Because your standard home phone was fixed it was easy to associate this with a specific address. However, with portable VoIP service, the phone can be taken practically anywhere....
