AT&T Rolls Out VoIP E-911 Service

AT&T announced today that it has begun introducing Enhanced 911 service (E-911) to its AT&T CallVantage Service users in a phased deployment to be largely completed later this Summer.

E-911 service delivers a caller's name, telephone number and service address directly to the console of the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in the event of an emergency.

AT&T began provisioning eligible new AT&T CallVantage Service subscribers with E-911 capabilities on a phased, market-by-market approach this past April. That means in the service areas where the company has installed and tested the infrastructure required to support E-911, eligible new subscribers are automatically receiving the enhanced service when activating their accounts.

When the migration is complete, customers will receive notification from the company confirming they have been provisioned with E-911.

Dialing service until the company is prepared to implement an "out-of-area" E-911 solution.

Under its AT&T CallVantage Local Plan, customers receive unlimited local calling and access to the entire AT&T CallVantage Service advanced feature set for $19.99 per month. All local toll and long distance calling and feature use in the U.S. and to Canada will be billed at $0.04 a minute.
