Sumner County 911 Emergency Communications
A quickly emerging technology is VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP uses a combination of
computers, telephones, hardware, and software to allow you to place telephone calls using your internet
connection. VoIP allows you to place telephone calls over the internet, rather than traditional telephone
lines.
The connection between VoIP and 9-1-1 is limited and inconsistent. Different services and methods
treat VoIP/9-1-1 calls differently, and your location information may not be displayed on the dispatchers
computer screen.
If you use VoIP for your telephone service, it is vital that you make yourself familiar with the procedures
you need to implement to reach 9-1-1 in an emergency. Click on the link at the right to find out more
