VoIP phone service works differently than regular landline phones. It’s especially important to be aware of these differences during emergencies, because power failures and Internet outages will affect your ability to call 911 and other emergency services.
Aristata Communications E911 Disclosure and Notice Addendum is intended to ensure all VoIP customers understand these limitations. The disclosure is also required by the Federal Communications Commission.
To that end, Aristata Communications is requiring all VoIP customers to complete our E911 Disclosure and Notice Addendum. Aristata Communications is also providing all our VoIP customers with an ATA sticker describing the following must-know scenarios:
