I want the lowest cost very light usage inbound/output plan with E911 for my Obi200. The best option seems to be CallCentric with their $1.95/month outbound & E911 plan along with the free NY State number inbound plan. The phone would physically be located in Eastern WA. Is this a viable option? Is there a cheaper one?
We use & recommend Circlenet.
Works well with our Obi, SIP phone & wifi Android too.
I agree. Take a look at Circlenet.
Just for 911? $9 and change/month, vs. either $1.95/month? Ieee696 did say "lowest cost". (CallCentric's pay-per-call would be even cheaper, but not by much - $1.50+tax/month.)

The only way Callcentric's pay-per-call plan would be cheaper than the $1.95 North America Basic plan would be if OP used less than 23 outbound minutes per month.
I guess I took it to mean using Callcentric just for E911 calls. True, using them for all outgoing calls, the per-minute plan is more.
Callcentric can't port my number.
"CircleNet LLC offers residential VOIP service for $8 monthly + taxes ..."
Is that really as cheap as it gets?
No, you're looking at the wrong spot... those are the all-in plans.
You want the BYOD plans, see http://www.circlenet.biz/index.php/byod-cirlcenet/ (http://www.circlenet.biz/index.php/byod-cirlcenet/)
EDIT: email Sam at sales(AT)circlenet.us, let him know the number you want to port, and he'll check into it for you. All my dealings with him have been excellent! ----replace (AT) with @ ----
