Vonage Subscribers Can Now Dial 511 Free of Charge to Receive Local Traffic Reports
"Vonage is pleased to offer its customers the convenience of 511 dialing to speed up their commute," stated Michael Tribolet, president of Vonage America Inc. "This is just another example of Vonage answering its customer's needs."
When subscribers dial 511, their call is routed from Vonage's network to their local 511 Advanced Traveler Information Service (ATIS). 511 calls are routed locally based upon the address the customer registered for their 911 service.
