Re: Wifi Calling and e911

["Mccormick, Kevin" <ke-mccormick () WIU EDU>]

Hello Jim and Jeff,

I do not think that should be your responsibility to have a policy, but
that of the carrier or application that is doing the WiFi calling.

I use Republic Wireless which is a WiFi based phone service. All calls go
over WiFi if available, then cellular which is backwards of traditional
cellular.

They have policies and terms for their service.

Google Fi works the same similarly.
