Title: Cheapest E911 service for Obi 200
Post by: cheerful on March 16, 2016, 10:51:15 AM
I found an old thread http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=3916.0 (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=3916.0)

Signed up bulk 911 but could not instruction to configure OBI 200.  Contact them and they told me it won't work on OBI 200.

Has anyone tried that?

Any alternative for similar price ($0.72/month)?

Thanks

Cheapest I'm aware of is Anveo at $.83/month.

Bulk911 is a carrier level service.........hence the word "bulk" in its name. GV911.com is the corresponding end-user solution.

Anveo is $15 per year.  Where did you find the $0.83 per month price?

Thanks

Anveo E911 is $15/year with alerts. Without alerts it is cheaper. Here is a recent post on BBR referring to it:
https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30629598-Confused-about-my-VOIP-service?search=anveo%20e911 (https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30629598-Confused-about-my-VOIP-service?search=anveo%20e911)

My understanding is that you can only get that rate by signing up from an existing free or paid Anveo account and selecting E911 without alerts and pay for a year at a time (not month to month). I get my E911 elsewhere so I haven't done this myself so I can't confirm this.

Edit: Guess I was wrong. Just received this from Anveo:
Quote from: AnveoWe used to offer this option as OBITALK E911 special. However, as of a few months ago we only offer E911 with Alerts for OBITALK E911 service and there is no option to signup for the old E911 package.
