Right, which makes you the legally responsible party, not them because they're in Mexico, and it's your acount generating the calls. Doesn't make them a good company, but doesn't make you less responsible. Get a local line for the condo and disable your personal VOIP acount, otherwise you're personally responsible for anything that occurs over it, no matter how much you don't like it.No what's illegal is generating false 911 calls.

wakewatcher said:Given that these phones are in Mexico where USA emergency services can not respond I'm not worried about liability of someone in Mexico thinking calling 911 would get them any help. Calling 911 doesn't get you emercency services in Mexico. The liability is causing nussance 911 calls which this prevents. Your logic suggests that if I had telephone without a 9 key then I'd be liable for disabling 911. I doubt it.
Re-read the thread. I think the original poster has the right idea; allow the Mexico emergency number through and leave the emergency services in Seattle out of this.If someone tries for an emergency 911 call and it didnt work because of some modification you made
Optikon said:It doesnt matter where. If someone tries for an emergency 911 call and it didnt work because of some modification you made (for WHATEVER REASON) you think you cannot be sued? You most certainly can and it doesnt matter whether or not they are in Mexico or on Mars.
Just have the service properly disabled. Why even take the chance?
If you're located in Mexico and you dial 911, you can sue anyone you like. It still won't get you an emergency response. Mexican cities have their own emergency system and it is not connected to the US '911' system.If I dial 911 in an emergency, it doesn't work. Can I sue Telstra and Optus ?
