VOIP and Alarm System
Problems!
Straight from
the Verizon website:
"Verizon VoiceWing Service does
not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. The
limited emergency response service ("Limited Emergency Response
Service") differs in a number of important ways from traditional
emergency response services. You must maintain an alternate means of
requesting emergency services. An accurate Service Address is required
to route your calls to the closest emergency call center in the event
that you dial 9-1-1. Verizon VoiceWing Service will not work if power is
out. VoiceWing will not support home security systems
and cannot be used with satellite television services. Network
congestion or use of data services at the same time as VoiceWing might
affect sound quality."
The small text, found here by
doing a detailed search of the fine print and FAQs, states unequivocally
if you plan to use an alarm system with a VoIP system, turn around and
walk away - it won't work. And you'll find similar language from the
other major providers.
