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.

Azure Communication Calling SDK can be used to add Enhanced Emergency dialing and Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) call-back support to your applications in the United States (US), Puerto Rico (PR), the United Kingdom (GB), and Canada (CA). The capability to dial 911 (in US, PR, and CA) and 999 or 112 (in GB) and receive a call-back may be a requirement for your application. Verify the Emergency Calling requirements with your legal counsel.

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's 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.

Emergency dialing is automatically enabled for all users of the Azure Communication Client Calling SDK with an acquired Microsoft telephone number that is enabled for outbound dialing in the Azure resource. To use emergency calling with Microsoft phone numbers, follow the steps:
4242

4343
1. Acquire a Microsoft phone number in the Azure resource of the client application (at least one of the numbers in the Azure resource must have the ability to ‘Make Calls’)
4444

4545
1. Use the APIs in the calling SDK to set the country code of the user
4646

4747
1. Microsoft uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard
4848

1. Microsoft supports a country US and Puerto Rico ISO codes for 911 dialing
49+
1. Microsoft supports a country US, PR, GB, and CA ISO codes for emergency number dialing

5151
1. If the country code isn't provided to the SDK, the IP address is used to determine the country of the caller
5252

1. If the IP address can't provide reliable geo-location, for example the user is on a Virtual Private Network, it's required to set the ISO Code of the calling country using the API in the Azure Communication Services Calling SDK. See example in the E911 quick start

1. When testing your application dial 933 instead of 911. 933 is enabled for testing purposes; the recorded message will confirm the phone number the emergency call originates from. You should hear a temporary number assigned by Microsoft, which isn't the `alternateCallerId` provided by the application

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.
