Cheapest e911 I've found

I'm thinking of buying an Obi 100. Is there a FAQ somewhere on how to set up 911? I want to avoid monthly fees, so I don't mind using non-location based 911 if necessary. Does the OP still apply in this case?
You have multiple choices:
1) Do nothing and call directly.
2) Map 911 to your emergency dispatch center's phone number (posts on the forum about this).
3) Get a E911 service, paying something a month. This is the ONLY option that gives you true E911, where the dispatcher knows your name and address.

Thanks Rick. I bought the 100 and am using Google Voice.
After searching, I used the instructions of an Amazon reviewer:
digitmap: ([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>)|(<911:1xxxxxxxxxx>):sp1},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Where xxxxxxxxxx is the dispatch number.
It seems to work, I tested it with a mobile.
What is the code I should change so that a default area code is set up and I only have to dial 7 digits instead of 10 for local calls in my own area code?

Bill,
Your digitmaps look as if they started life in an OBi110. They refer to a Line Port, which you do not have if you have an OBi100. Here is what I recommend for your OBi100. It assumes that GV is SP1 and is also the Primary Line:
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<911:1xxxxxxxxxx>):sp1},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}
Where xxxxxxxxxx is the dispatch number.
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> General -> DigitMap:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|<1aaa>[2-9]xxxxxxS4|011xx.)
Replace aaa with your local code.
This rule in the last DigitMap <1aaa>[2-9]xxxxxxS4 allows for seven digit local numbers. The S4 adds a four second delay. This is in case someone is dialling a ten digit number very slowly and pauses for more that two seconds after the seventh digit, in which case the number would be dealt with as a seven digit number. Some users find this over-cautious and are happy with the standard two seconds allowed between digits. My lack of brain cells causes me to pause in the middle of ten digit numbers to look up the next few digits, so I find it useful :)
BillMcNeal:
Thanks ianobi!
So if I did not want the 4 second delay, I just delete the S4 and the rest remains the same?
ianobi:
Yes, that's correct. You will be left with the default two second delay for that situation.
Please note that I have reinstated "911" into the Phone Port DigitMap. This ensures that 911 is processed instantly and does not rely on other digit maps.
