Future 9 - Just 911
sir_rob:
I would like to be able to use either line to dial 911, but only pay for the e911 service once (not once per CallCentric account). I believe this would be possible if CC (or another such as Anveo) can work without registration.
I have looked around the forum, but I could not find any conclusive setup procedure to use CC without registration. If I missed it, please just link to it.
If I could do that, and have CC's inbound DID's work without registration, that would allow me to only use two service slots for the two google voice accounts we have on that OBI-202. I could potentially even consolidate my other line on a separate OBI-202 and just use one box or add other services.

You already have 2 Callcentric accounts registered to your OBi202.
Get E911 service for one of them and route 911 and 933 to it.
sir_rob:
I will probably do just that. You mentioned that there is a way to use CallCentric without registration. Can you provide the instructions or link to them? I could not find them when I searched.

I may have found the answer here: http://www.callcentric.com/support/device/obihai/obi202

I hope this adds some clarity, rather than confusion:
Callcentric provides inbound and outbound services a la carte (separately). Their free or paid inbound numbers (DIDs) are offered separately from any inbound service.
OUTbound service is sold by the minute, or in buckets of minutes, or unlimited minutes. E911 service is (obviously) OUTbound, and so its cost has nothing to do with whatever DIDs you may have provisioned on your device. All you need to do is subscribe once to E911 service for your Callcentric account, regardless of how many inbound DIDs you have. Some outbound calling plans, like the 500 minute plan include E911, or you can pay for it once per month, at $1.50 per account. Then, using the OBi portal or local settings, you simply select to use either one of your Callcentric-configured service provider slots to use for E911 calls.
Callcentric's E911 service provider arbitrarily assigns a different (phantom) DID number as your caller ID 911, so that it isn't dependent on you even having a Callcentric DID phone number.
