I see a lot of bashing of teams for touching the dialer. Please take a look at https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requirements https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requiremen

I see a lot of bashing of teams for touching the dialer. Please take a look at https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requirements https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requirements before you say that they should not touch the dialer.
Yes they royally f'd up. However Teams is a voip carrier among other things. As of Jan. 6, 2022 they are not allowed to ignore 911 anymore. They HAVE to allow 911 calls. Even being a non fixed device. And on android this does mean interacting with the dialer.
(I have no affiliation with google or microsoft. I however did switch our small company to voip earlier this year and had to take a deep dive into the legalities.)
- nieve 5y agoSupporting 911 calls with the bare 911 number is not the same as overriding the phone's default 911 handling and I doubt the FCC has any regulation that says a provider functioning as a third party on a phone is required to _replace_ & disable a working built in emergency dialing function with a broken app function.
