Sprint announced the availability of a new add-on for existing and new Sprint cellphone customers. For $5 more a month and a little Yankee ingenuity, you now can make unlimited FREE calls between your Sprint cellphone (or multiple PCS phones if you’re on a shared plan) and your residential phone number regardless of the wireline carrier. In short, your home phone service need not be with Sprint. If you have Sprint home phone service, then the new PCS to Home service will be free. In either case, no cellphone minutes will be assessed for inbound (read comments!) or outbound calls between your Sprint cellphone and your home number … ever. In fact, they’ll show up on your statement as PCS-to-PCS calls which are also free.

The Asterisk Open Source PBX provides a cost effective way of achieving E911 compatibility when used in conjunction with a telephone carrier that offers E911 database management services to its customers. This database management service consists of a reverse directory maintained by the customer, but residing with the carrier, that assigns location information to private (DID) telephone numbers that the customer uses.

In order for E911 to function on an Asterisk PBX, each extension phone must be assigned a 10-digit DID number. This DID number is then registered with the telephone carrier along with the location of the phone.
