Attorney General Abbott filed suit last week against Vonage, a Voice Over Internet Protocol phone provider claiming that their service does not provide 911 emergency service to its customers. We ditched SBC and our land line a while ago and have been super pleased with our unlimited calls, no long distance IP Phone.
We did have to register for the 911 service, but it wasn't that hard to do. (I mean, we're drunk all the time...if we can do it so could you). Vonage gives a great new technology service and the attacks on VOIP technology all seem to come from the same source: SBC.
When we had to call customer care one time, we were told by Vonage that they 'buy' blocks of phone numbers from carriers like SBC. Since their technology has become popular, SBC has made it much more difficult for them to buy blocks of numbers for their customers.
Attaway to go, SBC. If you didn't suck so hard maybe people wouldn't be leaving your service in droves.
And to the AG, filing suit? Couldn't you have just called them up and said, "Yo, I think you make it kinda hard to dial 911..you guys need to fix that."
