Using GV Alone For Home Phone
SteveInWA:
Yeah, that was dumb. If you subscribe to E911 from Callcentric or Anveo, you can instead call 933 to perform a complete test. It will read back your street address to confirm it has your correct information.

Yep, my stupidity aside, this did expose what is a known truth, and I'm a big fan of the police. When seconds matter, the police are minutes away. It actually was at least 10 minutes after the call when I got the banging on the door. He was a little peeved with dispatch when I told him I had immediately returned their call and explained what I did. I am sure happy to know the police are at the end of a phone call, but there are situations, such as home invasion, when you better be ready to rely on yourself.

I was reading some older posts about E911 and Callcentric and if I read it right adding just 911 service with no out going calls for 18.00 I think it is also adds CNAM for GV. Is this correct?

No.
Yes, you can get Callcentric's E911 for $1.50/month. However, most people on this forum suggest spending an extra $.45/month and get Callcentric's North America Basic plan which gives you 120 outbound minutes per month in addition to E911. This can be useful if you're having any issues making outbound calls thru GV.

To get inbound CNAM on your GV calls forwarded to your Callcentric account you must also have a Callcentric DID for $1/month. This is how I get CNAM for my GV calls.

Callcentric withdrew their free DIDs earlier this year. Hence the discrepancy between information in old posts and the current situation as correctly stated by Taoman.
