Phone numbers

Voxbone provides inbound services through worldwide local and toll free numbers over its own private intercontinental backbone. Using these numbers, you may receive inexpensive, locally dialed phone calls from 50 countries.


VoxDID

VoxDID numbers can either be (1) geographical numbers attached to a specific area code or (2) national numbers that are not linked to a specific area and that are reachable throughout the whole country for the same calling fee. Phone numbers are provisioned in real time. The numbers are charged at a fixed monthly rate and there is no additional per-minute fee and no limit on the amount nor the length of the calls.

New numbers are to be purchased through the web-portal and existing numbers may be ported over to our network.


Vox800

Voxbone also offers toll-free numbers from various countries. A toll-free number is usually free of charge for the caller. However a per-minute fee is charged to the owner of the number. Consequently, toll-free credits need to be purchased.

In certain countries, Voxbone is able to identify the call origin and to bill differently based on whether the call comes from a fixed line, a mobile phone or a pay phone. You are able to either accept or block traffic originated on undesired networks on a number by number basis. This feature is called CPC (Calling Party Category).

New numbers are to be purchased through the web-portal and existing numbers may be ported over to network.


Channels

Channels represent the calling capacity that has to be purchased separately in order to receive calls on the VoxDID or Vox800 numbers. Each channel allows for one concurrent call.

Channels are to be purchased separately for each service i.e. VoxDID and Vox800.

The channels are neither linked to the numbers nor to the numbers' country. That way you can manage your channels for concurrent calls in a very flexible and efficient way on a global scale. It is however possible to split the capacity ordered from Voxbone into several capacity groups according to your internal needs or in order to resell separate trunks.

iNum®

Phone numbers are key identifiers for global communications and will remain so for a very long time. But we all know that the PSTN will slowly disappear and that phone numbers will eventually be fully IP enabled. iNum provides a way for service providers and enterprises to be prepared for this shift by making traditional phone numbers more intelligent, and by allowing for experimentation in an all-IP world.

iNum® numbers are global phone numbers from the new +883 country code, granted to Voxbone by the ITU

These phone numbers are multimedia capable and already support HD voice, SMS, messaging, presence, and soon video.

The essence of the iNum initiative is to create a global innovation platform using industry-standard voice and messaging methods:

  • Innovation is made possible by using phone numbers that are not restricted by the limitations inherent to the PSTN
  • Using industry-standard voice and messaging makes it trivial for anyone to participate
