“ Wi-Fi calling is a great tool to use when you don’t have a strong cell signal. However, if you keep your Wi-Fi turned on at multiple locations be sure to update your address under the Wi-Fi calling settings on your phone. In the event of needing emergency services, this will ensure you reach the appropriate 911 center. For example: If you live in Tazewell County, Virginia and have Wi-Fi Calling set for your home address but you work in Washington County, Virginia and need to call 911 while at work and are connected to Wi-Fi, your phone will recognize your home address for Wi-Fi Calling and route the 911 call to the center in Tazewell County instead of Washington County. Not updating your location could result in a delay of emergency response because of the misrouting of your 911 call.”
