according to a zdnet news here, texas state sued vonage voip company over 911 contract disclosures. according to the report:
The attorney general of Texas is suing Internet phone provider Vonage,
charging that the company isn’t clear to its customers about deficiencies in its
911 service
looking at the vonage site, i am sure the 911 service is listed as a service to be signed up for and from the vonage site:
911 Dialing is an optional feature
911 Dialing is free
911 Dialing is available anywhere in the US
911 Dialing requires prior activation on your part
911 Dialing and Vonage Service DO NOT function During a Power
Outage
not sure if these changes were made on the vonage site **after** the suit filed or were present there earlier. as for me switching to vonage, it seems to be on drawing board.
