When making use of VoIP (Voice over IP), careful consideration needs to be made as to how you would make a call to the emergency services if the VoIP service is not working for some reason or other.
We'd suggest the following as methods to make emergency calls during a power cut to you premises:
# '''Use a mobile phone''' - ensure you have a mobile or two charged up and with a working service.
# '''Have a UPS''' (Uninterruptible Power supply) which can power your internet equipment - router, phone, etc so that you have backup power to devices that will enable to you make calls. '''Test that this works!''' 500VA UPSs from a brand such as APC are available for around £60 which will keep lower power devices such as a router and a phone powered up for a while.
