Giving VoIP It's Own Country Code

Filed in archive General by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on May 13, 2008

One of the things that I missed out on at eComm 2008 was the fact that Voxbone CEO Rod Ullens proposed, in his session at eComm, proposed a country code for VoIP users: 883.

As part of it's proposal, Voxbone is giving away telephone numbers, called iNums, in the 883 country code to internet telephony servicelinks providers for free. The numbers will be, at minimum, 12 digits long. Voxbone will also handle sending the calls to their respective VoIP providers.

Initially, the 883 numbers will only be available within the VoIP providers. It will be an adjunct to existing identifiers on the various networks and is expected to be Eventually, calls from the PSTN will be able to terminate calls on the 883 country code, though it is not expected to happen until 2009.

I'm looking forward to having my own, global phone number that's reachable from anywhere and isn't geographically bound!
