Re: [Ecrit] emergency call termination



Thank you Ted for taking the time to look at this.

Regardless of the outcome of your proposal within ECRIT, do you agree that this particular UA behavior should be modulated by the requirements/rules of the jurisdictions since it simply reflects today's situation?

Thanks,

Sorry for the late comment on this, but having thought about this a bit,
I agree that this should not be mandatory.  If a caller realizes after
starting the call that it is not an emergency (the person choking has
their airway clear; the parent realizes a child has dialed 911, whatever),
they should be able to terminate the call.

Though I am no expert in this, it's my understanding that this is
not behavior supported by the current cellular networks, so I
believe that it would be both simpler and more appropriate to
define user terminated calls as permitted behavior.
