Thats not what I am talking about.
When you are providing VOIP services you have to be able to provide E911 ( Emergency Services ) coverage to the physical location ( your house, etc ) that voice services are being delivered to.
Without E911 coverage to your physical location that VOIP services are being delivered to you have NO way of getting the Ambulance, Police, Fire to your location.
Additionally, Its a requirement that E911 be provided to the end customer's location. You as the end customer CANNOT refuse this right to have E911 service. Its Law..... I deal with this daily for my VOIP biz.
Local number portability is another issue as well. You may not actually be able to get local services at certain physical addresses since the carriers that offer SIP may not be built out to the Rate Centers ( Central offices ) that your phone number terminates back to.
You may not be able to port your number as needed from carrier to carrier, or have to get an entirely new phone number if your existing number doesn't match the correct rate center that you are looking to get services in.
There are a lot of components that go into correctly setting up a customer with VOIP services for these above mentioned items. I do this all day for my existing business customers, affiliates, and direct business sales operations.
Anyone has a question, feel free to hit me anytime.
