## Overview

2020
Azure Communication Calling SDK can be used to add Enhanced 911 dialing and Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) call-back support to your applications in the United States (US) & Puerto Rico. The capability to dial 911 and receive a call-back may be a requirement for your application. Verify the E911 requirements with your legal counsel.

22-
Calls to 911 are routed over the Microsoft network. Microsoft assigns a temporary phone number as the Call Line Identity (CLI) when 911 calls from the US & Puerto Rico are placed. Microsoft temporarily maintains a mapping of the phone number to the caller's identity. If there is a call-back from the PSAP, we route the call directly to the originating 911 caller. The caller can accept incoming PSAP call even if inbound calling is disabled.

The service is available for Microsoft phone numbers. It requires that the Azure resource from where the 911 call originates has a Microsoft-issued phone number enabled with outbound dialing (also referred to as ‘make calls').

1. Ensure your application supports [receiving an incoming call](../../how-tos/calling-sdk/manage-calls.md#receive-an-incoming-call) so call-backs from the PSAP are appropriately routed to the originator of the 911 call. To test inbound calling is working correctly, place inbound VoIP calls to the user of the Calling SDK

The Emergency service is temporarily free to use for Azure Communication Services customers within reasonable use, however, billing for the service will be enabled in 2022. Calls to 911 are capped at 10 concurrent calls per Azure resource.

## Emergency calling with Azure Communication Services direct routing
6666

67-
Emergency call is a regular call from a direct routing perspective. If you want to implement emergency calling with Azure Communication Services direct routing, you need to make sure that there is a routing rule for your emergency number (911, 112, etc.). You also need to make sure that your carrier processes emergency calls properly.
68-
There is also an option to use purchased number as a caller ID for direct routing calls, in such case if there is no voice routing rule for emergency number, the call will fall back to Microsoft network, and we will treat it as a regular emergency call. Learn more about [voice routing fall back](./direct-routing-provisioning.md#outbound-voice-routing-considerations).
