VOIP and SIP News

The state of Connecticut is calling residents to warn them about dangerous weather or incidents, but warns that Voice over Internet Protocol lines will not be included on its database.

Locals who do not have VoIP lines can register their numbers here. Those who do have a VoIP telephone number need to go to the CT Alert sign-up page.

The 911 Emergency Notification System is used by the Connecticut Public Safety agencies to make people aware about hazardous events such as public health emergencies.
These agencies include the fire brigade and the police as well as Homeland Security. Using phone system contact information they can relay specific warnings about local threats while keeping the contact information strictly confidential.
