HOLMDEL, N.J., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage Marketing, a subsidiary of Vonage Holdings Corp., a leading provider of broadband phone service, today announced that it has been continuing to quickly roll out Enhanced 911 service every day to new counties across the U.S.

In just one week, Vonage has equipped an additional 76 locally-run emergency call centers, in over 30 counties, with E911 -- a feature that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number.

In June, the FCC gave Vonage, and all Internet-based phone service companies, 120 days to create an E911 system from scratch, and provide all of its customers, wherever they are in the U.S., with E911 service. In that amount of time, Vonage worked closely with local 911 call centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), across the country to turn on E911 for as many customers as it could. Vonage continues to test and turn up new PSAPs that are VoIP ready every day and will continue to do so until it meets the FCC's mandate.

"In just three weeks we have turned on E911 service in over 110 new counties and 210 PSAPs -- bringing the total number of PSAPs equipped with E911 service to well over 900," said Jeffrey A. Citron, Vonage's Chairman and CEO. "Vonage continues to work tirelessly and effortlessly with the FCC, regulators, Congress and public safety to turn up a national E911 system and will not stop until there is equal access to E911 for Vonage customers."

Since December 13th, Vonage has added the following counties to its list of those with E911 capabilities:
