Which ITSP your current account is with and which 911 service you are contemplating might be relevant so if you are determined that those remain a secret ....

Most people either choose Anveo ($20/year) or Callcentric ($18/year).

However, if choosing Callcentric just for E911, most people on this forum recommend going for the North America Basic plan for $1.95/month which also includes 120 outbound minutes per month.

Anveo works good, 1.50 setup fee and 1.50 a month. This is what I use for e911 with gv.  Have tested it with a scheduled call to them and have had to actually use it last month.   After my $25 balance runs out I may switch to calcentric for awhile and check them out.
