! Important 911 Information Ooma wants to make sure that you are aware of important differences in the way 911 service operates with Ooma Office when compared with traditional telephone service. Heres what you need to keep in mind:
Differences between traditional 911 service and Ooma 911 Be advised that Ooma 911 service is less reliable than traditional 911 service. Some regions do not support enhanced 911 service and your emergency call may be routed to an emergency response center which does not keep your address and contact information on file. Be prepared during any service interruption Ooma Office phone service depends not only on your continued subscription (and payment) for the service, but also on Internet connectivity and power to function. In the event of power, network, or Internet outages (including congestion), or if your service is disconnected or suspended due to non-payment, you may experience a failure, disruption or delay in your 911 service. We recommend that you keep an alternative phone service (such as a cellular telephone) handy to increase the reliability of your access to emergency services during any service interruption. Do not disconnect Until you are told to do so by an emergency dispatcher, do not disconnect your 911 call. If you are inadvertently disconnected, call back immediately. Keep your service address up to date Ooma will attempt to provide the emergency operator with your service address, so please ensure that your information on file with us is always accurate and updated. You may update your address online at office.ooma.com/address or by calling customer support at 1-866-939-
6662. If you do not do this and are unable to speak during a 911 call, the emergency operator will assume that you are calling from your last registered address. Inform other users You must notify all potential users of the phone service of the nature and limitations of 911 emergency calls. Limitations of liability Ooma Office Terms of Service limit and disclaim liability related to Ooma 911 service, so please read these carefully.
