911 issues

Thank you for bringing this up.

Most likely the 911 company is used by multiple Voip services, therefore, all of us must take these issues seriously.

Please keep us updated.

regarding "unscheduled outage" you reported

"The first day there was about a 30 minute to one hour hour (not sure) unscheduled outage in the evening."
- I may assure you that if there would happen even a 10 minute outage on CC network - this list would already be flamed with everybody asking something like "CC's down?". There was NO such thing at the day you reported nor anywhere around last 3+ months. When such an outage happens - there is a posted note within account's Dash panel as well as everyone here (on the DSLRs) would tell you (just ask) that "yes" (or "no") they also experienced something similar. The best way to find out - just open a trouble-ticket - you most likely to get a response very quickly.
Regarding technical support (which you "rewarded" at 60%) - Callcentric is known in industry as a very responsive provider with very well trained technical support engineers who work on each and any issue one may have until complete resolution is received. You may ask this (DSLR) list about this fact as well. If you have any complain - you may report it factually here and/or open a ticket with CC and work it through. I hope - people can confirm my words.
Thank you.

911---??

We all know that Callcentric has very good customer support. And obviously they are proud of their company and product, because the above reply seems kind of defensive.

But the more important issue was not mentioned.

The 911 issue reported by the reviewer is important. What is the situation in that regard?

The outage as I described was my experience. When I went to the dashboard, the status message said something about restarting some server(s) and reprovisioning users. As for the time, it was in the late evening and the time, as I mentioned is estimated since I did not constantly monitor the site or continuously watch my "phone" light to see if I was re-provisioned.

You missed the probability that this was not a global outage of the system, but rather a limited one affecting one or more areas. In that case, I would not expect them to post messages to the dashboards of all those clients who were still functioning normally, only those who were affected. If the number of affected users was small, then I'd not expect a flood of posts for it, especially late in the evening.

I was clear in stating the negative factors. I rated it at 60% because of the lack of phone support, which I mentioned, and the larger factor of the almost two-week-old unresolved 911 issues, which IMO could result in delays in emergency response. I will continue to rate it at 60% until the 911 issue is resolved.

Which is what I have done. I have tickets open for unresolved problems. I did not open a ticket for the unscheduled outage because my dashboard status on the site indicated they were having problems which were consistent with what I was seeing, so a ticket would have been unnecessary.

I agree with "John Sherman" that the 911 issue is important, especially for those who may use the service as their primary telephone. At this time the issue and ticket(s) remain open.

As I stated previously, I will update this review as things progress(or don't progress).
