999 or 112 emergency calls.

Your BT Cloud Voice phone number is registered to a specific address, so when you make a 999 or 112 call from your phone number, that's the address the emergency services will see. If you use your BT Cloud Voice service at a different address, the registered address does not automatically change. So if your work location changes let your BT Cloud Voice service administrator know as they might also need to change your registered address.

You might not be able to make 999 or 112 calls when there's a power or network failure or if using the service through an app on a mobile device.

SET UP.

This guide will tell you everything you need to know about your phone. To get started follow the simple instructions in this user guide or use the quick start guide that came with your phone. It's quick and simple.
