Last Updated 18/10/2021: Emergency Services calling - Emergency Address

Service Advice: A reminder that, in general, when using cloud telecoms services the user's address location will not be forwarded to emergency services. For specifics please discuss with your Telecoms representatives and provide relevant advice to your users.

Given the nature of SaaS unified communications and contact centre platforms, service provider emergency address association may not be relevant because:

  • phone number emergency address is not associated to the client (shared infrastructure)

  • users can be logged in from anywhere

  • CLI (ANI) on outbound may not be associated to an end-user, for example it can be a trunk default or queue association

General recommendations are:

  • client should test dialling 000 to verify access if required

  • relevant address details should always be confirmed with emergency services at time of call

  • clear instructions given to users on protocol such as use mobile phone or specific fixed lines to call 000
