Service Limitations
There are a few factors to consider when using RBI Voice – the most important being emergency services. Yes, you can still contact emergency services i.e. 111, provided you have internet access and power (i.e. you will not be able to use RBI voice during a power cut), however, the operator will not know your physical location, so you will need to provide this information to them. We have provisions in place for “vulnerable consumers” to contact emergency services during a power cut – find out more here.
Applications/services that may not work with RBI Voice:
- A medic alarm that only works link through an old analogue phone line, dial up internet, older Fax machines, older EFTPOS devices, a monitored building alarm that only works through an old analogue phone line, some traditional 3 way calling or audio conference features.
We suggest you double-check with the suppliers of the above services to check compatibility with RBI Voice.
When combining phone/internet on RBI the connection speed drops from 4G speed to 3G speed when people are on the phone.
