How can I update my 911 emergency address in CommPortal?
When To Do This
- Your business has moved to a new address.
- You are working from a temporary or alternate location.
- Your suite, floor, or office number has changed within the same building.
- You have never verified the address on file and want to confirm it is correct.
How to Fix This
Step 1: Access the Emergency Location Setting
- Log in to https://phone.wowforbusiness.com.
- Click View Account Settings at the bottom right of the screen.
- Under Personal Details, click Set Emergency Location.
Step 2: Update Your Address
- Address Line 1: Enter your street address.
- Address Line 2: Enter your specific location within the building. This field is critical for multi-tenant buildings. Use abbreviations to maximize the 60-character limit.
Address Line 2 examples:
- Suite: STE 400
- Floor and suite: FL 4 STE 400
- Building and office: BLD A FL 2 OFC NW CRNR
- Update City, State, and Zip Code.
