<div style="direction: ltr;">It’s not implemented in many jurisdictions. For example, Los Angeles. I suspect that’s because carriers are very slow to change global dialing numbers, because they required complex switch reconfigure.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">No, they are the actual PSAPs. Any law enforcement dispatch center, which is to say any agency that is routed 911 calls by the local exchange carrier (LEC), can schedule a 911 test for you. But you’ll have to supply your name and
other identifying information and the reason for your test, as these are all logged. “I just want to see” isn’t a reason that they will accept. “I am a telephone installer, checking on VoIP processing for 911“ is a reason they will accept.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Different agencies have different areas of responsibility. Every LEO entity with its own dispatch center is a PSAP for its jurisdiction. City police departments cover within city limits, sheriffs cover outside of city limits, and
the highway patrol covers highways, and typically also fields 911 cellular calls. </div>

I think some of the confusion might be some people thinking PSAP is the actual identifier of some agency. But it's just any place that takes 911 calls. A Public Safety Answering Point) is any entity responsible for receiving 911 calls and dispatching them to
first responders. PSAP is an organizing principle, not an agency. But it's a national standard. I design and build police dispatch centers, so I work with PSAP operations every day.</div>

<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It completely depends on the PSAP. When I was doing HPBX installs on a new install I would call 911 and would lead with “This is a phone company engineer” Can you verify the address. They would
verify what they had and I would say thank you and hang up. If what the read to me was wrong I still just thanked them and hung up and would address the issue with our E911 provider.<br>
<br>
This is what we were told to do when we contacted the PSAP. They told us that if they could not accommodate they would just say something like “Not now” “Call back later” and hang up. If that happened we were to wait until the next day and try again.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>

</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m posting this to the announce side because it appears readers of this list need to know this important info.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can’t legally “test call” 911 cold. You have to first schedule the test with your local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) using their non-emergency number. You can find the PSAP's non-emergency number in your local phone
book or on their website. Some PSAPs may have specific times or dates when they perform test calls, so you must check their website for more information handling BEFORE calling the dispatch center. And you must have an industry need (e.g., phone system installer,
first responder, etc) to even schedule a test call. If anyone could make a test call, everyone would be tying up the lines doing that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All widely available, public information. You clearly didn’t do any research, such as googling “911 test call”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Which is why you’re being charged.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Continue this discussion on the discuss list.</span></p>
