 "Great deal for the Dirt Cheap DIDs, excellent web portal, sound quality is great terminated to a SIP device"
 "Calls forwarded to SIP URI sound horrible, high E911 fees, high termination costs (1.9¢/min)"

Well, I needed a local number and didn't want to pay exorbitant costs for a DID with "unlimited" incoming, nor did I want a pay by the minute plan for my needs. A CallCentric Dirt Cheap DID fit the bill perfectly.
Now, if you live outside of a large city you might not be able to find a local number. Luckily I live in the Atlanta area, which supposedly has the largest local calling area in the world and 3 full area codes (and parts of two others as I remember) are "local" to my location. I wound up picking a number approximately 40 miles away in one of these area codes, which is just as "local" to me as my next door neighbor's AT&T POTS line.
The service has been great! Call quality is excellent, except when forwarded to a SIP URI. Haven't really tried to troubleshoot this much further as I am not currently using this option. Call quality is great when sent straight to the CC SIP account though.
I am still on the "IP Freedom" rate plan, as I terminate outgoing calls over less expensive providers, where I pay from 1-1.1¢/min for domestic calling. As such, I cannot rate CallCentric's outgoing termination quality.
