Are there affordable DIDs (preferably IAX) available anywhere outside the US? I want to use it to meet ICANN requirements for providing a valid phone number, yet pre-empting some of the telemarketing calls my domain registrations generate. (Yes, I asked a similar question about 900# availability before). I'd prefer to have a number somewhere outside the NANP, preferably an asian country. This number will (obviously) be low-volume (minutes/month at the most), and shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks. Maybe a list member knows and/or is using one?

Maybe a list member knows and/or is using one?How about sipgate.co.uk, who dish out numbers for free? For non-UK residents, you can choose your number from: +49 1801 777555xxxx +44 845 004 xxxx ("Local") +44 870 478 xxxx ("National") +44 7094 820xxx That's probably in order of likelihood of being reachable from outside the UK. +44 8xx is generally diallable from the civilised bits of the world. +44 70xx may have issues. -- PGP key ID E85DC776 - finger abuse@mooli.org.uk for full key
Its not Asia, but for a DID in the UK, it looks like: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-VoIPUser is a possibility. They seem to have a maintenance window at this exact moment, but its worth a try later on. I have no experience with them, just did a search on voip-info.org and they popped up. This is a great idea, by the way. Randy On Mon, Jan 17, 2005 at 10:45:57AM -0600, Jay Milk wrote:> Are there affordable DIDs (preferably IAX) available anywhere outside > the US?
