Suzanne Bowen Any more intelligent things you can do with phone calls? I hear dozens from new #DIDX members. and the latest? Make all DIDs SMS-able. http://www.rageboy.com/stupidnet.html

Kevin C. Leacock Is that to say that all DIDX DIDs are becoming SMS-capable?

Suzanne Bowen I wish, Kevin. We need more mobile operators joining www.didx.net so that some of the coolest services in the world can leverage DIDs that can SMS in and out. These DIDX members have the technology to enable SMS over Internet... just need the DIDs.

Any other intelligent things we can do with phone calls, phone service, IP communications, phone numbers? Let's help David Isenberg out here.

Kevin C. Leacock Yeah, I was rather excited when DIDx added SMS capability, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any numbers I needed with the SMS capability. Shame.

For a start, I've seen games done by phone, systems that remember your personal settings based on CallerID. There's things like the Localphone approach - use a combination of the CLID and the DID to redirect that call to a specific customer's contact - in effect, multiple people using the same phone number to call multiple other people.

Rather than focusing on intelligent inbound services - menus, etc - there's also things like intelligent outbound services, for example, for people with multiple DIDs, I use a CLID decision engine that determines which of your DIDs is the least expensive for people to call at the location you're calling and then send that DID as the identity.
