AT&T was the first to offer the VOIP problem with 911 calls a solution with Heartbeat. For regular 911 calls, databases with the customer’s home addresses help to pinpoint the location of the person calling. However, this does not work when using an Internet phone at a remote location. For AT&T’s VOIP users, Heartbeat uses the Internet network to track down their location. When the phone adapter is plugged in, AT&T asks the user to verify the location. If they have moved, they are directed to call an 800 number to update their location. Of course, this only works if the person updates their location, so the system is far from perfect. Plus, if you have Call Forwarding, Locate Me, Do Not Disturb in use when you call 911, an interruption of your call may mean that the emergency dispatcher may not be able to call you back at the phone from which you dialed the call. 911 calling is also not available if your power goes out or if your high speed connection is down.
