unfair critism and generalization of e911 in general. we have ocal interconnection for 911 as well as we have use Dash (reseller of intrado) for 4 years in our VoIP network. there were growing pains 4 years ago. But, they're solid until you have the resources and volume to go to intrado for e911 direct. dk ________________________________________ From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Paul Timmins [paul at timmins.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 7:04 PM To: Lunch Hound Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Looking for Opinions on DASH e911 service If you get anything other than a live operator at a PSAP, run, don't walk, to someone else. After "experiencing" many of these providers, we built out our own facilities based 911 network for a REASON. And now, none of our customers break their leg, and get someone with a Canadian accent asking for their zipcode and warm transferring them to non emergency lines at police departments. -Paul Lunch Hound wrote:
For some REAL fun, place a bunch of quick, back-to-back test calls to all the "different" 911 providers that you think you have. Do it late at night when they are bored and have time on their hands. Get chummy with the operators, learn their voices, crack the same lame joke each time.
You'll be surprised at how many times your "different" providers all go back to the same person, who seems to laugh less and less at your same lame joke each time.
We've caught some major players outsourcing their services to the same shop w/o telling us about it. Not that they have to tell us, of course, but still....
