LOCAL NEWS

Texas AG warns internet phone service customers

06:12 PM CST on Thursday, February 10, 2005

From 11 News Staff Reports

The state Attorney General warns that you may not be able to call 911, if you switch to broadband phone service.

It's a problem 11 News first exposed last week after a local girl couldn't get help for her parents who were wounded during an armed home invasion.

The law doesn't require broadband phone companies to provide 911 service, but local emergency officials are trying to change that.

A group of them plans to testify before the FCC in the coming weeks.
