Then buy another OBi box if you already have two SIP providers. How difficult is that? We are talking about the safety of persons and property here. If you cannot spend the extra $50 for another box and $1.50 per month for a real E911 solution, then I won't have a lot of sympathy for you when your house burns down or a family member dies of a heart attack because the 911 operator didn't have the proper information in the format they are use to dealing with and the help that was desperately needed was delayed in arriving. I mean seriously people, this is a small price to pay for the added protection E911 service provides.
Well, you said it would be smarter to program an alternate number rather than nothing. That is what I am doing and that is reflected in the statement I made concerning alternate methods.
And I already have 3 Obi's.

Port your Verizon number to a prepaid cell, then to GV. Setup Callcentric for e911 for $1.50 setup fee and $1.50 per month. Info all over these forums
Can one of you please outline exactly what one needs to sign up for on the Callcentric website to be able to use it for 911 calls? I have Google Voice but am not sure exactly what plan or plans to sign up for at Callcentric, including whether I need to sign up for a phone number. Looks to me like i need to sign up for only outgoing service, and that too only the pay per call rate plan. Is that correct? Any link to a clear step-by-step procedure will help. Thanks!

You must sign up for at least the Pay Per Call plan. Then you sign up for E911 for the $1.50 setup and $1.50 per month. You WILL get a Callcentric number.
Once you get a confirmation from Callcentric, put this in the Physical Interfaces > Phone Port > Outbound Call Route:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>):li},{911:sp2},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1}, {(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Click Submit, Reboot the OBi, call the NON-EMERGENCY number for your dispatch center and ask permission to test E911. When you test it, they should be able to see your name and address, AND the phone number. I asked what it was, the dispatcher noted it was "out of area" and read it to me, it was a California number, see my post on how the Callcentric process works.
userobi110:
Here is what I setup for my 911 on SP1 (GV):
Phone OutboundCallRoute:
------------------------
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>):li},{(<911:1408xxxxxxx>):sp1},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Also I have the following setup:
Phone DigitMap:
---------------
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
But, when I call 911, it always get the busy signal from my phone. What I am missing here?
