The following article was edited by Stefania Viscusi of TMCNET and re-posted here on the DIDX Blog.

Voiceserve subsidiary, VoIPSwitch, a London-based developer of VoIP platform solutions, has announced an new discount offer together with DIDx to provide customers with new U.S. numbers for a low cost.

According to company officials, this new discount offer will allow customers to provide real phone numbers to their clients instead of just a SIP ID - so that they can recieve phone calls, not just make them.

Exclusively for VoIPSwitch customers, this new offer makes it possible to purchase a block of numbers from DIDx, a provider of Direct Inward Dialing or “DID” phone numbers to IP communications companies.

Through the offer, customers can order up to 1000 phone numbers from the U.S. for as little as $150 per month – allowing them to offer clients the benefits of next generation telephony at a cost efficent price point.

Once customers purchase the block of U.S. numbers from DIDx, they need only use an easy DID API to import that block over to VoIPSwitch and then begin using the phone number via their account.

From a user account, its possible to also set up the ability to”VoIPSwitch” from a VoIP device or a mobile softphone. Also, with the new offer, users can call one another for free within VoIPSwitch, regardless of their geographical location.

More details on the offer are also avalaible HERE.

The Model of DIDX Wholesale SIP DID Marketplace

The DIDX buyer members who have the most success with using http://www.didx.net wholesale phone number marketplace are those who understand the ...

POWER

and

CHOICE

they have on DIDX. The ones who do not have the most success ... we write this blog post for them because we want them to have success with DIDX.

Anyone can buy and sell DID/DDI phone numbers on DIDX. There is one interop process with the goal of interconnect with the 12,000+ other members once completed and account activated.

The DIDs are made available for sale by the seller members. Any one geographical area of Earth or Country Code - NPA - NXX may be provided by one seller, two sellers or more on DIDX.

Each seller decides the NRC (setup), MRC (monthly recurring), how many minutes and channels are included, and such features as CID, CNAM, calling card use granted or not, and more.

Our company Super Technologies, Inc. (in 1999) created DIDX in 2005 and continues to manage it as one of its star services with DID footprint in 60+ countries. We have a vendor rating system of 0-8 with 8 as the highest.

A vendor rating of 5 (FIVE) or above is good and better and best. Several highly successful open source and/or IP communications solutions and businesses have used the flexibility of DIDX in pricing, quality level and features to rock the world of voIP such as *SIPPHONE's Gizmo5.

In conclusion: understand the vendor rating system, choose according to the quality level, pricing, channels and minutes included, and features your end-user needs. Use the DIDX API and filter accordingly or manually buy accordingly.

And can't afford your own technical support staff? Contract with a DIDX integrator/implementer.

* Our VP Bowen had lunch with Mr. Robertson during CTIA Wireless and Entertainment Oct. 12, 2009, almost a month before the Google/Gizmo announcement went public. She stayed "MUM" about her knowledge of the Google acquisition of Gizmo ... thank you, Suzanne. Read Abramson's thoughts published Nov. 10, 2009.

Egypt vs Algeria Odds in Football

Egypt v Algeria Odds
Football: International, FIFA World Cup 2010 African (CAF) Qualifiers
(14/11/09 17:30)

We asked several their opinion about this African qualifying game. The following is one example response.

Just a couple days away, Egypt and Algeria haven't faced off since 1989 ... violence is not a good thing. It's exciting to see a game like this, but if a group damages the opposing team before the big event even begins ... destroys a chance for millions to experience patriotic pride during the actual game. And that my friend, is !@#$%^!

By the way, we heard that Algeria DID will soon be available on DIDX to the 12,000+ wholesale IP communications members. This means that millions of their end-users will have access to the same. Africa is rocking on DIDX!

Wintershall and Norway? Provide Norwegian DID

Have you heard of Wintershall, the largest German oil and gas producer? The high profile company has "announced it is relocating its Norwegian base from Oslo to the hub of the Norwegian energy sector." Where is that? Stavenger!

Just as "Rainer Seele, board chairman of Wintershall Holding AG, said the move from Oslo to Stavanger is part a strategy to expand activity in the region," many of telecom providers' European oil/gas investment related end-users could use a Stavenger and/or Oslo, Norway DID phone number. Why not let them know they are available ... if you are a member of the wholesale DIDXchange?

In fact, many see Norway as the "most important supplier" of oil and gas reserves to Europe after Russia.
