Call Stations       Important 911 Information             Fax i-Line (PC) - $6.95 /mo     IMPORTANT 911 Information when using Peopleline VoIP Peopleline's VoIP or Basic 9-1-1 service has limitations as compared to Enhanced or E911 services offered by traditional telephone companies. Traditional Phone Companies' 9-1-1 and E911 Services With traditional phone companies' 9-1-1 and E911 services, your 9-1-1 call is sent directly to the nearest Public Service Answering Point (PSAP) or emergency response centre. In addition, with E911 service, your call back number and physical address are visible to the PSAP or Emergency response centre operator. Unlike traditional phone companies' phone services, VoIP services are nomadic like mobile or cellular phones. The VoIP call back number and location displayed to the operator cannot just be assumed to be correct. People Line VoIP Basic 9-1-1 Service – How it works Since the location visible through VoIP services cannot be assumed to be correct, People Line VoIP basic 9-1-1 calls are first directed to a national emergency call centre where your location is verified. The call centre's operator will confirm your location information, city and province, before transferring your call to the proper local PSAP or emergency response centre nearest to your location. The PSAP operator will then speak with you to determine the nature of your emergency and any other necessary details before dispatching emergency services (Police, Fire, Ambulance) to your location. This is an important extra step in the event of an emergency and is a key difference to traditional phone companies' 9-1-1 service. Furthermore, in case you are unable to speak during a 9-1-1 call, the operator will dispatch emergency services to your last registered address. For this reason, it is very important that you keep this registry up to date. People Line will provide your address information to the 9-1-1 database overseer, and update this information when necessary. It is your responsibility to immediately inform People Line of any address changes. Because of these important differences, please be aware of the following limitations regarding Peopleline's Basic 9-1-1 service. VoIP or Basic 911 Services Limitations You must always provide the address where you intend to use the Peopleline VoIP service when you register for service. You must update your registered address with Peopleline if you move or relocate. When you add a line, change your number or cancel a number transfer / portability request, you must reconfirm address information to enable basic 9-1-1. When calling 9-1-1, you must be prepared to confirm your location address and callback number with the operator who answers the 9-1-1 call. All 9-1-1 calls will be routed to our national call centre, which will then route the call to the local 9-1-1 PSAP centre servicing the location, based on the address provided by you. Do not hang up until told to do so by the operator who answers your 9-1-1 call, and call back if you are disconnected. It is your responsibility to inform all potential users of the VoIP phone at your location of the limitations of basic 9-1-1 service. VoIP or Basic 9-1-1 services will work only if all of these conditions have been met: You have registered your service address with Peopleline and such address has been provided to Peopleline's provider Allstream for data entry and 9-1-1-service provisioning. You operate your VoIP service only from the registered service address. Your service utilizes a telephone number associated with the exchange in which the registered service address is located. Your VoIP phone service will not operate when your Internet connection is down, and/or your power is out. Tips when using VoIP or Basic 9-1-1 services: Make sure you understand the limitations of VoIP basic 9-1-1 services as compared to traditional phone line 9-1-1 services. Make sure that you have registered your current address with People Line for each phone number that you use from People Line. Understand that your VoIP phone service will not operate when your Internet connection is down, and/or your power is out. We recommend having a backup UPS power supply for power outages and having a cellular phone on-hand for these types of situations. When calling 9-1-1, you must be prepared to identify your location and call-back number to the operator and remain on the line with the operator, unless directed by the operator to hang up. If disconnected, you will need to call back 9-1-1. Make sure that you inform anyone, family and guests, other than yourself, using your VoIP phone service is aware of the limitations of the VoIP basic 9-1-1 service. Please append the 911 warning sticker onto your VoIP phone equipment so it is clearly visible.
