Where is the Free DIDX Buyer & Seller API Info?

Several hundred service providers are successfully using DIDX's free seller API to make DID/DDI available for sale on www.didx.net to the 11,589 other service provides on the DIDXcahnge, as of October 2008.

The seller API is available at http://kb.didx.net/tiki-index.php?page=Offer+DID+to+sale+on+DIDx+For+Sellers+Only.


Several thousand are using the free buyer API to successfully filter from the 17 million DID/DDI from 55 countries to their websites for their end-users to buy.

They filter for DID in a certain price range, setup fee or no setup fee, certain vendor rating range (0-8 where 0 is lowest and 8 highest... 4 is average, 5-8 good, and 0-4 shows new member, not enough DID for sale, and/or poor or slow technical support from seller).

The Buyer API is available at http://kb.didx.net/tiki-index.php?page=List+of+API+Functions.

Salman Ansari on the State of DIDX: Video Interview

Salman Ansari has over 38 years of professional experience in telecommunications. He heads the policy formulation team for telecom deregulation and ICT development in Pakistan; advises Chinamobile, PTCL, PTA, Mobilink, Multinet, STM Wireles, and more on privatisation strategies, technology and regulation issues, convergence and new IP based services, and optical fibre projects. He also is a part of designing and implementing smart buildings such as the Grand Hyatt in Islamabad. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Hyatt_Islamabad

He worked in technology transformation of the education section such as HEC, PERN, and AIOU. I remember Salman's name many times on educational Internet mailing lists even in the late 90s when I was using my FIRN teacher's account for Internet. (CTRL J meant delete, and if you did do that, you'd have garble.)

Though Salman is a telecom and IT genius, a rebel of sorts... he is completely accessible, friendly, and willing to teach, share, and learn. It's our pleasure at Super Technologies, Inc. to count him as a friend, critic, and think tank session buddy.

On this video, he shares his thoughts about www.didx.net where 11,000 service providers from 170 nations, as of October 2008, collaborate in buy/sell DID direct inward dialing (local and international phone numbers to keep families, small and large businesses in touch with those important to them).

Call Flow, Billing, Provisioning with DIDX Answers

Super Technologies, Inc. is the creator and operator of its service www.didx.net, the direct inward dialing wholesale phone number exchange (buy and/or sell DID among 10,000 telephony companies to then resell to their own end-users for local international numbers.) Every once in a while, we get an excellent set of questions from the new DIDX member and then to pair that off, I note sometimes excellent answers from our team members. In this case, Junaid and Steve answered the questions. Let me share them with you.

In this case, the new DIDX member needs a softswitch and rebranding and hosting. The entity is already a mobile operator.

Question (1) I'm trying to understand the technical part of the hosted rebranded Call Forward Management solution. Would you send me more details on the integration required with our core network, our billing systems and provisioning systems? I would also want to understand the call routing and call flows between 2 networks (e.g. a US carrier and our company).
Answer: The Call flow will be as follows
[US Caller] --------------------->[Local CLEC in US] ---------> [DIDX] -----------> [TP] ------------->Subscriber
[GSM/LandLine/CDMA][SIP][SIP] [GSM]

You'll need to enable SIP on your Switches / Gateway MSCs, for us to move calls toward you.

Our billing system right now is standalone, with a top-notch provisioning system as well. We can integrate that with your current billing system.

Question (2) I'd like to discuss the commercial facet of this service with you as well. Currently, we do not have MT charging within our network, so I will have to investigate how we can charge incoming calls. Also, with this service, we will need to be really careful so as not to cannibalize our existing IDD revenues.
Answer: You will need to have intelligent network interrogation enabled on the inbound leg of the call and define the DID in the tarif table as a chargeable entity on 60 sec / 30 sec pulse and/or you can charge it as an event, for a pulse duration with recurring charges later on.

Question (3) How would a US number be obtained? Will we have to enter into an obligation with one or more of the US carriers? What about numbers from other countries? Do we have to talk to and obtain MSISDNs from carriers in those countries?
Answer: Your company will be completely transparent to the number obtaining procedure. We have already completed terms and interop agreements with major telcos and have an exchange service at www.didx.net with over 10,000 members. Your business won't have to enter any legal obligation with any other telco. Each telco is responsible itself to comply with law, not to each other. Same is the case with MSISDNs (DIDs) from other countries as well.

Wishing success to you and your IP communications-related business or mash-up.
