If my Ooma Office device has no Internet connection, can I still call emergency services?

Your Ooma Office system is dependent on power and Internet connection to function, so if either is down, you won’t be able to use your office phone to place or receive calls, including emergency services calls. In a situation such as this, you can still dial emergency services from any cellular phone that has a charge in the event of an emergency.
