Finally, if there is any power outage at the location that you are using the
phone, or a service connection failure by the Internet Broadband Provider
for that location, your VoIP service and 911 will not work.
VoIP for 411
For those Service Providers that do offer 411, some now offer ‘Enhanced
Directory Assistance’ for their customers, usually for a per-call fee of
around a $1.
These enhanced services can include:
• Residential and business phone listings
• Movie Listings
• Weather Forecasts
• Horoscopes
• Sports Scores and News
• Stock Quotes and Information
• Lottery Results
• Airline Flight Times
• Time of Day Anywhere on Earth
(Obviously it’s up to you to decide whether that call is worth $1!).
Since we recommend that you keep a regular phone line service anyway
(see Power Outages for more information) and look at VoIP only as a
replacement to your long distance calling and to get Advanced Phone
Features, this may not be such an issue for most people.
