Anveo subscription only good for 12 months OR 5 calls to 911

Has anyone tried a BT hookup to a cellphone for 911?

Anveo, rather bluntly, came back and stated that if I need unlimited E911 I should go with another E911 service provider and that the subscription expires after the 5 allowed calls. I'm not planning to need 911 even once over the next 12 months, but if I start using it I should keep count or take their suggestion to look for unlimited.
Let's be honest here. Anveo realize that the bulk of the OBi users is using their service for E911 and nothing else. I don't think they are too thrilled with this arrangement, since paying $0.80 - $1.00 per month is not something that will generate any income for their business. Additionally, I believe the 5 call maximum is probably something that they E911 provider impose on them (maybe 6 or 7, Anveo sets it as 5) before additional charges kick in. I find it hard to believe that the "subscription expires after the 5 allowed calls". This is very disturbing. I hope they at least send out a warning when you are approaching the 5th call or have lost the subscription.

This is the text of their reply.
Hello,
Subscription to E911 expires after 12 month or after 5 E911 calls are made (whatever comes first). If you need unlimited 911 dialing then you should consider using another E911 service provider.
Regards,
Anveo Support
I sent them a reply to see if there is any kind of warning or whatever, but got no response. Based on this, I believe that the 6th attempt would fail. However, you will have gotten notice of expiry after the 5th call. To be honest, I'm not that concerned about it and think that 5 calls will be more than enough for me ..... I certainly hope. :)

I use BT for 911. It stays connected reliably and I don't need to worry about the internet being out. You can use a phone without service but I use a prepaid phone from http://www.pagepluscellular.com that cost $10 every 120 days. At the end of that time I add another $10 and the balance rolls over.
The set up also gives me a backup route for regular calls if the internet goes out.
lhm.:
GV911.com $12 per year.
