ESA 911 VoIP Statement
911 VoIP Emergency Service Advisory (“ESA”)
Please Read Carefully. Failure to Understand, and Failure to tell GABN about your situation could result in a hazardous situation.
Best Practices:
a) GABN recommends that Subscriber and End Users always have multiple methods of accessing 911 Services.
b) When dialing 911 with the Service, Subscriber and End Users should always state the nature of the emergency, and include End User location and number. The default Public Safety Access Point (PSAP) may not be able to call the End User back if the call is not completed, is dropped or is disconnected, of if End User is unable to tell the PSAP their main telephone number and physical location.

SUBSCRIBER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FAILURE TO PROVIDE A CORRECT PHYSICAL ADDRESS IN THE REQUISITE FORMAT MAY CAUSE ALL BASIC 911 OR E911 CALLS TO BE ROUTED TO THE INCORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER.
FURTHERMORE, SUBSCRIBER RECOGNIZES THAT USE OF THE SERVICE FROM A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE LOCATION TO WHICH THE SERVICE WAS ORDERED, I.E., THE “REGISTERED ADDRESS,” MAY RESULT IN BASIC 911 OR E911 CALLS BEING ROUTED TO THE INCORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER.
