Description

Now that native E911 REST endpoints are live, the platform E911 guide no longer needs to tell people to file a support ticket.

This PR rewrites /docs/platform/e911 around the self-service process:

  • create a carrier-validated emergency address
  • assign it to a number
  • wait for e911_status to become active

The doc uses Fern's built-in endpoint snippet components so the examples render from the OpenAPI spec and can't drift, and it links heavily into the generated E911 Addresses reference.

Also added:

  • An Info callout that covers setting EmergencyAddressSid via the Compatibility API
  • A brief Dashboard section that covers the E911 tab and per-number assignment.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Breaking change
  • Documentation update
  • Code cleanup / refactor
