what does it say if e911 is enabled? from the recording I hear, it sounds like it's still forwarded to a psap.

Same deal here. Dial it and it says its available but to make sure your address is updated and such.

I live in midtown Manhattan and just dialed 933. It says that 911 is enabled, but says nothing about e911. In fact it adds that I may have to give my address, so I guess it has not reached my building yet. When e911 is enabled, what exactly will the message say when I dial 933?

to be honest im not sure if it gives a general message to whether or not your activated. my best advice i can give you is to dial 911, when they answer say this is NOT an emergency, i am just testing my 911, etc etc, can you see my namer and address, thats what I did at least Smile

im in SI

A little while back a Vonage rep asked forum members to test their E911, but another saw it and confirmed that you are not supposed to test E911

"Please do not test 911 without first checking state and local laws..."

It's kind of funny seeing three 2 Vonage reps suggesting one thing, and Vonage and another rep telling people not to do it. I'm not surprised people have trouble with CS.
