In some (but not all) cases, our phone numbers are RCF'd numbers, so they don't actually exist on the trunk...and Comcast forcibly re-writes them to our 'main' number...and then routes the 911 call incorrectly. In other cases, we have provided Comcast with the e911 information, they say it's updated, and then we find out months later (when an office dials 911 during an emergency) that it's still not correct.</div><div><br></div><div>Not only does this affect 911 calls, but also customers who get the re-written caller ID and have no idea which office called them.</div><div><br></div><div>The "easy" solution is to ditch Comcast and move to a provider that doesn't play the RCF and caller-ID-rewrite games. Unfortunately my client is locked into their Comcast contract for another ~18 months. Early termination would incur a ~$35,000 bill.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there a list of PSAP numbers somewhere so I can set up an internal redirect to the PSAP 10-digit number? I know those 10-digit numbers are guarded like Fort Knox, so I'm betting this option isn't very realistic.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe a separate service provider that can just handle 911 calls without "owning" my client's phone numbers?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Any other thoughts on how I can route around Comcast brain damage?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>-A</div></div>
