No — there are important differences, and you should read them before you rely on the service. Depending on your address and where you use the service, you will have either E9-1-1 (routed straight to the answering point for your address) or Basic 9-1-1 (routed to a specialized call centre where you must give your name, number and address to the operator). Because VoIP runs over your internet connection,
9-1-1 will not work during an internet or power outage. You must also tell us immediately if you change the address where you use the service, or 9-1-1 will not work correctly. Please read the full
911 service limitations.
