E911 means “Enhanced 911”, and by E911, your phone carrier allows you to add emergency information, so in case of emergency, they send this information to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). And you can also look through our Smart Device Guide section for more related articles.
“E911” sends the emergency information such as your actual location (longitude and latitude), Name, account info, and hospitals/911 near you to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
The E911 address is the location that emergency personnel (police/fire/ambulance) will see as your listed address if you were to call them and were unable to communicate.
You may save up to three addresses under the e911 address, and the best practice is to update your E911 address every time you move your phone to a different location so, in case of emergency, you can be easily found.
