Best Value / Reliability for E911 Service to Use With 'New' Google Voice w/ OBi
scoleman.69@gmail.com:
Hi Folks,
Have searched, but nothing definitive of a recent nature apparent for the question of which E911 service ONLY for use with Google Voice via OBi has the best value and reliability. I know that CC and Anveo were previously considered the usual first choices; does that remain the case?
Any advice appreciated. Looking to set back up with GV and perhaps my Mother.
Albeit hers is a tad more complicated in general since her INet service in her assisted living facility is via WiFi, so presume an OBi WiFi set up is required, unless there was a way to come off her computer which gets the INet WiFi as a connection to the OBi box which would have to be via a USB port in some fashion as that's only thing available AFAIK, and I'm guessing that ain't an option... any advice regards that would also be appreciated.
TIA,
Steve

Using the OBiWiFi Wireless Adapter, the OBi200 can be placed anywhere within range of an 802.11b/g/n access point.

For your consideration, Callcentric provisions your address with the e911 provider when you sign up for e911 service. Anveo provisions it at the time of the call. This means that Callcentric has fewer points of failure. They are also more expensive.
What do the other phones in the facility do for 911? If the facility has 24-hour nursing care, perhaps she would receive help faster if the call was routed to the nursing station.

For typical GV setup needing E911 I vote for Anveo. I've used them in the past and recently signed up again. There reasons users have their favorites. I just feel the Anveo setup is solid and easily setup using OBiTALK. Tip: if you sign up through OBiTALK it will cost 15.00 for a year and you get notifications when 911 is called. Come to think of it, you might like that feature since it's for your mother. If you sign up at the Anveo site you get the service for 12.00 without the notifications, but you have to deposit a minimum of 20.00. When I did it recently I just decided to spend the 15.00, rather than tie up 20.00.
