The contract <br>
being up may fix the problem of getting the call to the correct PSAP, <br>
but it may not fix your address problem. If the location is routed to <br>
the right PSAP but identifies the wrong building in that PSAP area it's <br>
still an issue. My guess would be that Comcast had problems getting your <br>
addresses to validate in the ALI database so they listed the address <br>
associated with your SIP trunks instead because the system took that. <br>
What clients may not be aware of is that the address in the ALI database <br>
(used to identify locations for 911) doesn't always match the address <br>
that the customer was given by USPS.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have a portal that I use for tracking my clients addresses.

Those fields also generate my e911 list that I hand to Comcast. I used the same fields to programatically create the BulkVS 911 list.
