The following limitations apply to the availability of the Google Voice emergency dialing service: (A) the service may not be available in the event of an Internet or power outage or disruption; (B) emergency calls may take longer to connect to the Public Safety Answering Point than traditional emergency services dialing, may produce a busy signal or may not connect; (C) emergency calls may correctly connect to the PSAP, but the End User's phone number or location may not automatically be transmitted and the emergency services operator may not be able to call back; (D) emergency calls made while roaming may be routed to the local PSAP associated with the End User's registered address (Customer will advise End Users to use their native dialer while roaming); (E) deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired End Users should call local emergency services directly using TTY or a telecommunications relay service, instead of 711 or a local equivalent; (F) if End Users have multiple devices associated with their account number (i) return calls from the PSAP may not ring each associated device, and (ii) the emergency operator may see a phone number that is different from the End User's personal phone number; (G) if the End User has disabled incoming calls, the PSAP may not be able to call back; (H) if a call fails using Google Voice, End Users may be directed to complete emergency calls using the native dialer on their devices; and (I) emergency calling is not available through this calling service if (i) using the inbound-only Google Voice service, or (ii) calls are directed through the voice network of the user's mobile carrier, when using the native dialer of the End User's device. In Canada and certain other locations, the number and location provided by the emergency caller must be verbally provided by Google's emergency operator to the appropriate PSAP; if, however, the caller is unable to provide their location to the operator, the caller will be routed to the PSAP that services the caller's registered address.
