PennNet Phone 911/511 Service Notice

There are some differences between traditional analog telephone service and PennNet Phone (VoIP), mainly VoIP’s non-working status during power and network outages as well as the customer’s ability to move the phone set to a new location. PennNet Phone 911/511 emergency calling services will not be available if:

• There is a power outage resulting in loss of power to the PennNet Phone set
• There is a network outage resulting in loss of network connectivity to the PennNet Phone set
