I signed up for a free CC phone number. The check-out page shows a $3 charge for "911 recovery cost". It looks like a one-time charge, not a recurring $1.5/month. Most important, there's no mentioning of CNAM anywhere. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
$1.50 setup fee + $1.50 first month's 911 fee = $3.00. After the first month the recurring fee is $1.50.

Are you doing what it says to do in post #2 and post #4 on the first page of this thread?
Thank you for your reply. Just want to confirm. Should I set-up my OBi first ("Inside your OBi 100/110/202:") before adding my CC phone number to GV? This is to avoid the "catch-22" mentioned on the 1st page (i.e. cannot enter the code to verify my CC number).

Follow the sequence shown in the instructions in the first post in that thread (starting with Account Setup) and everything will work correctly.

Is it possible to sign up for the plain IP account at Callcentric (without the incoming number), get assigned a 1777xxxxx number from CC, then signup for an IPkall number, then point the IPkall number to the CC account?
The reasons are 1) to avoid the 911 fee and not have to claim an outside location and not have to give any payment info 2) to get a WA number instead of a NY number (not really important).
If you do it this way, Will the CNAM feature still work for incoming calls?????

AFAICT the IP Freedom plan has the same requirements as to stating you are not in the US/Canada to avoid the 911 recovery fee.
If you take the free DID number, you are also on the IP Freedom plan.

1. Can anyone else confirm this? I signed up for the freedom plan and it did not ask for anything and did not require 911. It does not ask for payment. On my main screen, it shows the 1777 number, but it also says extension is not registered. (not sure what that means) I have not programmed the Obi yet with this number. It says if you choose a rate plan, you will need to have the 911 service. But there is no rate plan if you only use IP calling.
2. Regardless of the 911 requirement, if you point the IPkall number to the 1777 number instead of the CC free DID number from NY, will CNAM work the same?
