Vonage and Verizon Partner For 911 Service, No Word From Texas AG On Suit

Less than two months after Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed suit against telephony company Vonage for "failing to make clear to consumers that the company’s current service does not include access to traditional emergency 9-1-1 service", the Internet company has partnered with Verizon.

In a detailed press release issued today, Vonage announced that limited enhanced 911 service was available through Verizon when callers were in "Verizon's territory".

Consumer Help Web reported on March 23 that Texas had filed suit against Vonage when a Houston woman could not reach police after two people were shot in her home. Today, there was no word from Attorney General Abbott regarding the Vonage suit.
