The address where each number is used: the office, the clinic, the home.

Step by step

6 steps, about 4 min

1
Open the number
10 s
In Numbers, click your line, then the Settings tab. Scroll down to Emergency address (E911).
Administration/Numbers/your number/Settings
Open this screen in Callizy
2
Read its status
10 s
The badge shows where the address stands: Registered, Registration in progress, Rejected or Not declared. Without an address, the card says “Missing”.
3
Declare the address
1 min
Click Edit. Fill in Street, Apt/Suite (optional) if needed, City, Province and Postal code. Click Declare this address. A US number needs an address in the United States.
4
Wait for registration
2 min
Callizy shows “Address sent. Registration takes a few minutes.” The badge turns to Registered when it is done. The card updates on its own.
5
Do it for every number
1 min
Each number has its own address. A number bought after you went live has none: declare it right away.
6
Test with 933
1 min
Dial 933 from Callizy: an automated message reads back the registered address. Never call 911 to run a test.

Key points

Dialed in Callizy, 911 sends the number’s registered address, not where you are. Somewhere else, say your location out loud.
Without internet or power, 911 may not work. Keep a mobile phone or a landline for emergencies.
Moving? Change the address of every number.

Settings

You can change them at any time, without reconnecting anything.

When you go live: The 911 step asks for the main number’s address, then the I have read and accept the 911 information box. The Learn more about 911 link opens the 911 with Callizy page.
Outside Canada and the United States: When you go live, I’m not in Canada or the United States: no address to declare. 911 isn’t available there: use the local emergency number from a mobile phone.

Not working?

Callizy shows “This address couldn’t be verified. Check the spelling and postal code.”

Check the street name, the city and the postal code.
The badge turns to Rejected: correct the address, then click Declare this address again.

Callizy shows “The address couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a moment.”

A registration may be in progress: wait a few minutes, then try again.
If the message comes back, write to support.

Callizy shows “Postal code expected like H1G 1N9.”

Enter the full Canadian postal code: letter, digit, letter, then digit, letter, digit.

Callizy shows “Fill in the street, city, province and postal code.”

Only Apt/Suite (optional) is optional.

The badge stays on Registration in progress

It usually takes a few minutes. After an hour, write to support.

Frequently asked questions

Does 911 work in the app on my cell phone?

Yes. Dialed in the Callizy app, 911 goes out through Callizy, with the number’s registered address. Dialed with your cell phone’s own phone app, outside Callizy, it goes through your mobile carrier.

Which number do emergency services see?

The number chosen for the call, if it has a registered address. Otherwise, Callizy presents another number of your business that has one.

Does 911 work during the trial?

Yes. The trial limit doesn’t block a call to 911, or to 933.

Does my number transferred from another carrier have an address?

It takes the temporary number’s settings, 911 address included. Check it in its Settings tab.

Where can I read 911’s limits?

On the 911 with Callizy page, and in section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale.
