Using GV Alone For Home Phone
ceg3:
I wonder if I can get a few comments from people happy or not happy relying on Google Voice alone for home service?
GeeObi:
I cannot recommend because there is no 911 service.

Have you looked into adding 911?

Interestingly, I just called my local police in NC and was advised using a mobile phone to call 911 works very well and they can pinpoint you within two meters. He agreed the system has made big advancements. Google Voice for home phone and mobile phone for 911. Sounds good to me. I also realize if you pick up your GV phone and call 911 you will be able to tell them where you are. It's not as if you can't call 911 with GV. The truth is most of us will never have to call 911.

Not sure what you mean exactly by that statement. You can't dial 911 and have it route thru Google Voice without first transposing the number to a regular 10-digit POTS number. Such as {(<911:5558884321>):spX}
Is that what you mean? I do this but only because my local PSAP has an emergency 10-digit POTS number that has the same priority as a regular E911 call. But as you say, you would still have to give the PSAP call center your address/physical location.
