How do I add or delete E911 Geolocations in the Bandwidth Dashboard?
FollowHow do I add a Geolocation?
- Log into the Bandwidth Dashboard.
- In the top navigation bar, click Emergency.
- Select Dynamic Geolocations and click Add.
- Complete the required fields. If you need additional address fields, such as a number prefix or a street suffix, select Show Detailed Form.
- Enter a Geolocation ID that will help you easily identify this Geolocation when associating it with an Endpoint. This will be auto-generated if left blank.
Note: An auto-generated Geolocation ID is guaranteed to be unique. When manually creating a Geolocation ID, the entered ID will be checked against existing Geolocation IDs on your account, If that ID already exists, a warning modal will appear and you can either overwrite the existing address or create a different Geolocation ID. Please be aware that overwriting the current address for a Geolocation ID will impact the 911 call routing for all endpoints associated with it.
- Click Add Geolocation.
- You'll see a confirmation message displaying the submitted address and its reformatted version.
- To proceed, click Accept and Submit.
- To edit the reformatted address, click Edit Reformatted Address.
- To return to the previous page, click Cancel.
How do I add Geolocations in bulk?
- Select Dynamic Geolocations and click Add.
- Click Template CSV to download our sample CSV file where you can enter your Geolocations.
- Once you've filled out and saved the file, click Import Geolocations.

How do I delete Geolocations?
- Select Dynamic Geolocations.
- Check the box(es) next to the Geolocation(s) you want to delete.

- Click Delete. A countdown will appear at the top of the page. If you change your mind, you'll have 5 seconds to click Cancel before the Geolocation gets deleted.
