Toddler Dies During VoIP 911 Call
May 2, 2008

A sad story out of Canada, apparently a family dialed 911 over their VoIP line when their toddler was in distress. They were told by the company’s dispatch service that an ambulance was on the way. Unfortunately, the family had moved from their original location and had not updated their profile, so the dispatch sent the ambulance to the family’s old address. The toddler subsequently died.

Great reporting. Terrible story. I didnt know that had to be updated. I thought that the VOIP provider took care of this. How do you go about ensuring that the info is correct or change it if needed?
