Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911

Posted by timothy on from the big-daddy-government dept.

bigtallmofo writes "Vonage VoIP customers and readers of many media reports should be aware that Vonage's support for 911 service is less than ideal. Now the Attorney General of the State of Texas is suing Vonage for failing to make clear the limitations of their 911 service. The issue was brought to the AG's attention after a 17-year old Houston girl was unable to reach police after dialing 911 when both of her parents were shot by an intruder."

    with unreliable connections at times to the 911 calling line, it was obvious that at one point Vonage would be getting sued.

    I cannot tell what is what for this case, it must be allowed to mature and all the details let out.

    Check journal for info on Anti-TextBook, an idea by me.

    Have you tried emailing 911? What a stupid and baseless comment....
