Manage Emergency Calling Service
When you create an Emergency Calling Service request, it goes through several stages from creation and verification to activation. During this process, the submitted information and selected DID numbers are reviewed to ensure compliance with local emergency service requirements.
You can manage the service by resubmitting requests, removing source numbers, or canceling the Emergency Calling Service when needed.
Update the identity or address information and resubmit the request after changes are required.
Remove individual DID numbers from an existing Emergency Calling Service request without canceling the entire request.
Cancel a pending or active Emergency Calling Service request when it’s no longer needed.
Emergency Calling Service Flow
This flow illustrates how an Emergency Calling Service request progresses through its stages until activation. The process begins with creating a new request and continues through review, confirmation, and approval. The request can be canceled at any time while it is in New, Changes Required, or Active status.

Resubmit Emergency Calling Request
Before an Emergency Calling Service request can be activated, it must pass a verification stage to ensure that all submitted details are correct and compliant. You can resubmit a request while it is in New or Changes Required status, if some details are incorrect, incomplete, or did not pass verification. When the Emergency Calling Service request is in Changes Required status, a reason and any additional comments will be displayed to help you update and resubmit the request.
Step 1. Filter Emergency Requests by Status: Changes Required (Optional)
In the DIDWW User Panel, go to Voice → Emergency Calling.
Open the Status filter.
Select the Changes Required status to display the relevant Emergency Calling requests.

Step 2. Open Emergency Calling Edit Page
Locate the Emergency Calling request, then click the Reference ID or use the Actions (⋯) menu and select Edit.

Step 3. View Verification Details and Reject Reason(s)
On the Edit Emergency Calling request page, review the Verification Details and Reject Reason(s) sections. This will show exactly why the request requires changes (for example, a missing proof of address).

Step 4. Update Verification Details
Important
If the rejection reason requires changing the Identity information, or if any identity or address fields are locked from editing, it is recommended to cancel the request and create a new Emergency Calling Service request instead of resubmitting it, unless the rejection is related to document updates.
If the Address information is missing or incorrect (except for document updates), create a new address for the identity and select it when resubmitting the request.
Depending on the rejection reason(s), you may be required to update either the Identity details, the Address details, or both. For example, this may happen if the provided information is outdated, incomplete, or does not match the verification documents.
In the Verification Details block, click the Identity or Address names to open the corresponding edit page.
Update the required fields — for example, upload a new document or add missing information.
Step 5. Resubmit Emergency Service Verification
After reviewing the rejection reasons and updating the required Identity or Address information assigned to the Emergency Calling Service request, you can resubmit the same request for verification.
Note
If you are unable to update the Identity information based on the rejection reason, or if the assigned Address cannot be modified, create a new address or cancel the emergency request instead.
To resubmit emergency calling service request, click Actions → Resubmit.

A Resubmit Emergency Service Verification pop-up window will appear, showing a banner with the rejection reason and any additional comments from staff (if provided).
Note
The Identity field in the Resubmit Emergency Service Verification window cannot be changed or reselected.
Select the updated or new Address from the dropdown menu (or click Create New Address if the existing fields are disabled when updating the required address information).
Click Submit to resubmit your Emergency Calling Service request for verification.

Step 5. Emergency Calling Service Request Returns to In Process Status
After successfully resubmitting the request, the Emergency Calling Service status changes to In Process. This indicates that the verification has been resubmitted.

Remove Source Numbers from Emergency Calling
You can remove verified source numbers from an existing Emergency Calling Service request at any time if they are no longer needed.
Important
When the Emergency Calling Service is Active, removing a number instantly disables its ability to place calls to supported emergency numbers.
If a number is removed while the request is in New, Changes Required, or In Process status, it will not be activated for emergency calling.
Step 1. Open Emergency Calling Service Edit Page
In the DIDWW User Panel, go to Voice → Emergency Calling.
Click the Actions (⋯) button next to the Emergency Calling Service request.
Select Edit from the dropdown menu.
Note
You can also click the Name / Ref. ID of the Emergency Calling Service request to open the edit page directly.

Step 2. Select Verified Source Numbers to Remove
In the Verified Source Numbers section, select the DID number you want to remove.
Once the number is selected, click Remove.
Note
The Remove button is disabled until at least one number is selected. After selecting a number, the button becomes active and can be clicked to proceed with removal.

Step 3. Confirm Number Removal
A Remove Source Number(s) confirmation window will appear. Review the message, then click Remove to confirm.
Note
The selected source number(s) will be removed immediately, and the emergency service for those numbers will be canceled. No refund will be issued for the remaining service time.

Cancel Emergency Calling Service
You can cancel an Emergency Calling Service request while it is in New, Changes Required, or Active status. Canceling the request immediately deactivates the verified emergency source numbers assigned to the service, preventing them from making emergency calls. The Emergency Calling Service will be removed right away and will not renew in the next billing cycle.
In the DIDWW User Panel, go to Voice → Emergency Calling.
Click Actions (⋯) next to the Emergency Calling Service request you want to cancel.
Select Cancel Emergency Calling from the dropdown menu.
Note
Emergency Calling Service requests that are currently In Process cannot be canceled.
However, you can remove individual verified source numbers at any time, regardless of status, if updates are needed for the numbers used to place emergency calls through outbound trunking.
