Title: Punchalert 911+
Post by: ubergoober on January 02, 2022, 10:40:52 AM
My experience so far:

Signed up on Friday Dec 31st.  The advertised price is $24.99.  I was billed $25.00.

Autoprovisioning did not work.  I get dead air after dialing the 933 test number.  After 45 seconds, I hear The number you dialed, 933, has not received a response from the service provider.

I've emailed them twice.  The second email message was bounced with a delivery incomplete status.  My mail provider will continue to try to deliver the email.

So far, I'm not impressed.  Has anybody else had a better experience?

Reading between the lines, I think I'm hearing you say that PunchAlert isn't worth my time or money.

I'm saying for the same amount of money or less, you can get service from a company that offers more features.  I have never used Punchalert 911

I think this OP is using punchalert as a 911 provider,

That being  said there is actually a lower cost service that works perfectly well for $12 per year.. After some years of using it I know that several 911 calls have passed on it successfully across several  accounts.

The only issue I have with them is they do not warn you enough about service expiring

If I may ask,  does that plan have normal inbound calling included?
