RingCentral Emergency 911 Service

  • The device will be unable to place outbound calls without a registered Emergency address. The device, however, will still be able to dial 911.

  • The registered Emergency Address MUST be the physical address where the device is located.

  • Do NOT include special characters in the Customer Name field. The address will be verified, so please enter a valid physical address. Suite and apartment numbers should always be entered in the Apartment / Suite # field. 

  • Important: You must update this location every time you move your RingCentral IP phone or Emergency Dialing-Enabled Desktop App to a different location

  • Emergency calling will not be available in the event of an Internet or power outage, or if your broadband, ISP, or RingCentral MVP service is terminated.

  • Please Note: It is strongly recommended that you have an alternative means for placing emergency calls available at all times.
