Emergency Phone and Call Center FAQs

  • Where do elevator phones call?
    This depends on the answering service, but at Kings III, all emergency telephones in elevators connect directly to our Emergency Dispatch Center (EDC), staffed by live operators available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our highly trained team assesses each situation and acts according to a call list you provide or by dispatching emergency services as needed. See our recommended minimum standards for emergency elevator phone monitoring here.
    Looking for bilingual assistance? Our EDC can handle calls in over 175 languages, ensuring clear communication in any situation. Looking for bilingual assistance? Our EDC can handle calls in over 175 languages, ensuring clear communication in any situation.
    Even if medical help isn’t necessary, but a passenger is anxious or frightened, our operators stay on the line to provide continuous reassurance until they are calm or released. We also offer the added benefit of notifying loved ones or employers on behalf of the caller—going beyond what is typically expected from an emergency phone service.
  • What happens when you press the call button on an elevator?
    When you press the call button on an elevator with a code-compliant system, it should initiate a connection through an elevator phone box or other emergency communications device. The passenger will be able to speak directly to a designated responder. Who answers the call will depend on the emergency phone systems and service being used. At Kings III, we ensure that all calls are handled by our Emergency Dispatch Center (EDC), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Are emergency phones required in elevators?
    Yes– an emergency emergency elevator phone is required in any public elevator in the United States. To learn more about specific system requirements by state, including the standards for the answering service that responds to emergency calls, you can visit our code database for detailed information.
  • Do elevator phones require an answering center with bilingual speakers?
    No, it's not required, but we strongly recommend that a reliable emergency phone service includes dispatchers who are more than just bilingual. The best dispatch centers should have access to speakers of as many languages as possible, ensuring that all calls are handled effectively as part of their answering service.
  • How do elevator emergency phones work?
    Elevator emergency phone systems allow passengers to connect with a designated responder outside the elevator when help is needed. This connection is made through either a cellular or landline system, ensuring that emergency assistance is available at all times. See how to test for a compliant phone here.
  • What are blue light emergency phones?
    Blue light emergency phones are typically found in public areas like parking lots, sidewalks, and campuses but can be used in any location. These phones have the same functionality as other emergency call phones, but instead of using a wall mount, they are marked by a tower and lights, making them highly visible and easy to locate in emergencies. (Kings III offers blue as well as several other color options.) To ensure safety on your property, it's important to identify key areas where additional safety systems and an emergency phone service might be needed, rather than solely relying on tenants' cell phones. Any common area should be considered for adding an outdoor emergency phone or similar device to enhance overall security.

Most Kings III customers save money by reducing their telecom
