<div>Unless I'm missing something here,
you're not proposing to sell service to a stationary location and
warning the customer that 911 will break if they fail to notify
you that they've moved the phone, but you're selling service to
stationary location A when the customer has already notified you
that they'll really be using the phone in stationary location B.
That really doesn't sound like the same thing at all. They've
already told you that the phone is going to be in location B and
you're proposing to not handle 911 appropriately. (My apologies
if I've misunderstood the situation.)<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is a good point, and a fine line. I'd say at least 50% of our customers move phones. Almost none of them tell us. I suppose knowing that they do puts us in a tougher legal situation than having plausible deniability.</div>

in such a way that there's a line item for 911 service with a
dollar figure next to it? That's just inviting the customers to
try haggle, and could be construed that you consider 911 optional
rather than a fundamental part of your service. Or is this all
just a side-effect of charging for the DIDs in the additional rate
center(s) where the customer's employees live?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's a line item to cover our costs, just like regular phone company charge a line item for 911 service. We do it on a per-location basis because that's how we are charged.</div>
