OE, can you tell me how to verify the e911 is working....
Your OBi dial plan should map 911 and route it to your 911 provider trunk. It's possible to disconnect your OBi from your router and quickly dial 911 before your OBi detects no network. Then your OBi Call History should show a failed call to 911 on the correct trunk. This confirms the OBi routes 911 correctly.
If your 911 provider has a test number and your dial plan maps and routes it to your provider, dial the test number (such as 933) to get a 911-enabled confirmation response from your provider.
Finally, dial 911 and announce that your have new service and wanted to test 911. I have not dared to do this!

LTN1:
Doing a test through your provider (if they have one like dialing 933) is the safest way absent dialing 911.
If, however, you want to brave the call to 911, don't hang up when the 911 operator picks up. Just tell him/her that you accidentally dialed 911 as a preset speed dial and didn't want to hang up without telling him/her that it was an accident.
Without telling the 911 operator that the call wasn't intentional, they'll likely try to call you back to see if you had a problem. And...if they can't get a hold of you (like me one day when I was testing my PBX), they could send a patrol car to check up on you. The reason for this is because they don't know if you had a medical issue (or criminal issue) that left you unconscious after dialing 911.

Good advice!

Rick:
Call non-emergency number. Tell dispatcher you would like to test your 911 setup. Call 911, say "This is not an emergency, I am testing my phone setup. Please verify my address and contact info."
Note some 911 service uses a special number they assign to your 911 call that you may not recognize, but allows the 911 operator to call you back. .
