[kwlug-disc] VoIP questions

[john at netdirect.ca]

There are lots of names. 

An ITSP ( internet telephony service provider) offers DID service. DID (direct inward dial) doesn't seem appropriate as a term but it is what its called. You will find talk of dids on other digital telephony technologies like T1/E1 PRI.

Those terms should work for you.

The provider I use is Unlimitel.   .. http://www.unlimitel.ca/
I use their VoIP a la Carte because I don't make that many calls.   My
average phone bill per month is $10.
