The PSAP is operated by a third party, who will be responsible to connect your call to the appropriate emergency department. In case if you are unable to speak, the emergency respondent may not be able to dispatch units to you, or may only dispatch units to your last registered location, so it is your responsibility to keep all information up to date. However, your registered information, such as phone number and address, may not be available to the emergency respondent. Therefore, you should always be prepared to provide your phone number and address when making the call.
If the call is disconnected for any reason, the respondent may not be able to call you back, so you should re-dial 911 immediately.
It must be noted that basic 911 services may not function properly under these following scenarios:- a. Power outage or interruption
- b. Equipment failure, including phones, adapters, cables, wires, USBs, ATAs, modems
- c. Internet outage, interruption or congestion
- d. Blocked Ports or IP address by ISPs, either intentionally or inadvertently
- Disclaimer of Liability:

If you are not comfortable with the limitations of basic 911 service, you should seek alternative means of accessing the traditional 911 service and discontinue the Service from Link Telecom. In such circumstances, you understand that it is your responsibility to purchase and maintain a service from a third party that offers access to traditional 911 service.
