I HAD to respond on my packet8 line... when I tried to make a call, i was voice prompted to make a decision, either press 1 for I understand, or 2 for not in the USA or don't want it.
Doesn't get any easier than that!! |

clubs: |  Sounds like Packet8 used a very efficient method. Kudos to them!
Lingo peppered me relentlessly with voicemails and emails. |

cell phones are cool! because they dial the 911 center closest to where you are at the time. so if you live in LA and have a cell phone number in LA and take a trip to NY and have to dial 911, you will get a 911 center in NY. That is the same basic concept that VOIP providers are trying to deploy. |

| You do understand it's a lot harder for a voip adapter to know where it is physically located right? I haven't heard of a good solution for the system to automatically update where it is without user input.
Cell phones are easy. They always know what tower they are on and the provider routes the call accordingly. |
