| Callcentric lowered 911 charges Beginning October 1, 2008 Callcentric has lowered the fees it charges to recover the costs associated with development, provisioning and servicing emergency [911] calls.
This obligatory (no opt out for US residential subscribers] service is provided in accordance with May/2005 and Nov/2005 FCC's rulings.
New (since Oct. 1st, 2008) E911 fee schedule:
There is one time setup fee of $1.50 followed by monthly (recurring) fee of $1.50.
Please note - these fees (for the E911 service) are charged ONLY if/when the subscriber admits that he/she has US postal residential address. Only the US address is relevant. Our foreign customers are neither obligated nor charged nor provided with E911 service (with [soon to be deployed] exception of Canada - please see below).
For those who don't remember/know - tho E911 recovery fees used to be $2.03 for setup and $2.37 monthly.
An upcoming event:
Callcentric is at a final phase of preparing its infrastructure and provisioning systems to provide E911 service to Canadian subscribers (in accordance with CRTC order). This (Canadian E911) service is currently in BETA stage and is planned to be in production within a few weeks (most likely some when in November). The cost of E911 service for our Canadian subscribers will be the same as it's currently charged to our US based customers ($1.50/$1.50). |
