What happens when I make emergency calls?
If you make an emergency call to 999 or 112 from your BT Broadband Talk line, the Hub will automatically use your standard telephone line. This is a safety measure to ensure the emergency services can identify your location, if necessary.
Emergency Location Information is captured and passed to the Emergency Services for use in the case of an emergency call being made via the service. The location information captured is limited to the address of the BT telephone line.
Important: if there’s a power failure, your BT Hub Phone and/or DECT cordless phone will not work. Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services. We recommend your primary telephone line is maintained for contacting emergency services.
What happens to service in the event of power or network failure?
