Because of a problem with the software in the Ojo and VPAD videophones 911now.tv and 911fed.tv is currently not accessible for 911 calling from those phones. We are complying with the FCC requirement. In case of an emergency,

  1. Dial 911 from your videophone equipment,
  2. Dial 911 directly from a landline phone with a TTY, or
  3. Place phone ‘off-the-hook’ using a landline telephone.
