E911 Terms & Conditions
Definitions 911 = Emergency call service typically used for delivering emergency calls to a public safety access point.
PSAP = Public Safety Answering Point
VoIP = Voice over IP
DID = Direct Inward Dial aka 10-digit local telephone number
ECRC = Emergency Call Relay Center
Customer Obligations Concerning Emergency 911 Service Limitations. Due to FCC rulings and regulations, all customers who are using Voyant Services as their primary residential or business telephone carrier must activate 911 Emergency Services on at least one telephone number (Enhanced DID) per location.
You agree to provide Voyant with detailed address and contact information related to any location where you are utilizing Voyant Services and may access 911 Emergency Services. You agree to continually update this information prior to implementing any moves, adds or changes to Voyant Services or your service location. You acknowledge that failure to provide such information on a timely basis will severely impair Voyant’s ability to provide emergency 911 services. Failure to update location and contact information may result in 911 calls routing to the incorrect PSAP.
To ensure any E911 call is routed properly, you must set your outbound caller ID value to the specific 10- digit number (Enhanced DID) which includes 911 Service. This is how the Voyant network identifies Your Emergency Response Location and determines PSAP routing.
A call routing to an ECRC due to you originating a call from a telephone number not supporting 911 service, or failing to set the outbound caller ID value to the correct number, will result in a $75 ECRC surcharge per E911 call.
Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Broadband/Internet Service Disruption. 911 Dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply at your location, the Service, including 911 Dialing, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure devices at your service location prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 Dialing. Service outage, suspension, or disconnection of your Broadband or Internet Service will prevent all Services, including 911 dialing, from functioning.
Service Outages Due to Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or ISP Service. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by your broadband service provider or ISP will prevent all Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.

You agree to indemnify and hold Voyant harmless from and against any actions and/or liability arising out of Voyant’s provision of said Service.
