I got the same email from Callcentric. There goes my E911 service as well as my infrequent outbound faxing, and my incoming fax receipt.
I'm curious what the email from Callcentric has to do with your E911 service? The free CC DID (soon to be $1/month) has nothing to do with your CC E911 service.

I've been using it for an incoming fax line only. At $12/year, it's still cheaper than eFax and other fax services.

Technically correct. I could give up my free DIDs at Callcentric, which is how I use my OBi with Google Voice (GV forwards to free Callcentric number which rings OBi), yet keep my E911 service. I'd have a totally useless physical home phone (wireless handsets) except for the ability to dial 911, and pay $18 a year for that.
Unlikely to do that though. We are empty nesters, never have a stranger in the home, and any guest knows where we live. And we've setup our Verizon cells with 911 address identification.

Ah, I see..........hence your question whether you should buy a new OBi or not. Makes sense.

Looks like I was wrong about this. If you opt out of paying the $1/month for the DID your 911 service will also be removed.

I activated 911 Service using the Free Phone Number plan. What happens if i Opt Out?
If you Opt-Out, your 911 Service will be REMOVED as well. To keep 911 Service active, you will need a paid Inbound/Outbound plan on file.

You can use Pay per Call Outbound to keep E911 at $1.50/mo with no additional costs, other than when you need to make a 911 call.
What is my option if i have NO need for a Phone Number from Callcentric but require 911 Service?

Still seems like CallCentric at dollar unlimited+E911 for $2.50/mo is the lowest option out there if you want a no-cost inbound plan. I've been looking at options that have unlimited inbound and Ooma basic was best alternate I found so but. But, it is still going to cost slightly more due to the taxes/fees (at least $3/mo). You also don't get CNAM with their basic plan (why I went with CallCentric free DID), and the Ooma Teleo is about $27 more upfront purchase than an OBi200.
Since I already have the OBi200, I think I'll move to dollar unlimited and stick it out with CallCentric until the next price increase comes down the pipe (which it will eventually).
