Re 911--- Anyone else using Vonage or USA Datanet VOIP?

They can't guarantee that if you dial 911 you will get 911, so the FCC made
them get signed agreements from their customers saying we're aware we might
not be able to use 911.

I can't wait to move again and ditch the damn VOIP--- and now that my new
cell has better coverage, I'm not sure I'll even worry about a landline (for
the 5 calls a month I might get! LOL!)
