What is the difference between 911 calling on a traditional phone line versus VoIP?
The difference between Talk Motion Emergency Calling Services and traditional 911 service is that the Talk Motion Voice over IP call will be routed to the general access line of a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), which is different from the 911 Emergency Response Center. You will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly when calling 911.
