Cheapest e911 I've found
rsriram22:
another useful thread on how smart911 info is shared with PSAPs:
http://gcn.com/Articles/2012/06/11/Can-NextGen-911-catch-up-to-moibile-communications.aspx?Page=3
"..
When a 911 call reaches the PBX or other server handling calls for an answering point using Smart911, the originating number is passed over a serial port connection to the Smart911 server, which is connected to the answering point’s local-area network. The server queries the Smart911 database, and if the phone number has a file associated with it the data is returned to the server. The server routes the information to the workstation responding to the call, where it is displayed in a computer window. Only 911 calls initiate the connection, and PSAPs cannot initiate queries of the database.

quick note on caller id going to 911 dispatch: Both Anveo and Callcentric send a different (temporary) number to 911 when a call is made to 911. This temporary number is sent although you may have set your home phone # as callerid for all outgoing calls on their website(s). This could be true for other VOIP providers as well.
I have confirmed this with both of these providers by support tickets.
The downside to this is that if you have a smart911 profile, the info from that profile will NOT be displayed to the 911 dispatch since the 'temporary' number is what is sent to them and not your actual phone number..
lhm.:
Smart911 profile info is provided to PSAP when using gv911.com. Tested successfully with 911 call center.

@lhm, do you have a 'static' ip configured per few earlier posts in this thread? otherwise, would dyndns work?
i guess i may need to switch to gv911 so that it supports smart911, but the static IP requirement is pushing me back a little..
thanks!

This is E911. Calling an alternate number is like old 911, it may give them your caller id but nothing else.
jimates, I signed up for gv911, followed the instructions they provided, and paid via paypal. I did not see an option to add my address on their website, just my phone number. When I dial 922 it repeats my phone number and says it's not provisioned with e911 service. Is there a step I'm missing somewhere?
