<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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>

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.
