TerraSip, a VoIP provider based in Southern Spain (?Europe's California?), is offering a new service for direct customers with immediate effect, the registration and usage of DIDs or DDIs. DID means Direct Inward Dialling. Used in the VoIP world it means in fact nothing more than a regular phone number. Some people also call this virtual phone numbers.
A DID allows a traditional phone to call a VoIP phone So virtual numbers are real telephone numbers with the additional effect of being aliases for VoIP/Sip numbers. They can be a local number or a toll-free number. By calling such a number traditional phones can connect to Sip phones, just by dialling a local area code plus the direct number.
They are convenient for both: for the owner, who keeps always his same number worldwide, wherever he uses his sip phone and for the caller, who will be connected to this number for only the low fees of the dialled area code.
Registration and activation within minutes Every registered customer can order a virtual telephone number from any of the more than 5000 destinations from the TerraSip website. The handling is easy and the costs low. The customer selects a country and city on the web page www.terrasip.com. Then with a push on a button the DID is registered and mapped immediately on the users sip account. The costs are simply taken from the users account balance.
No hidden or per-minute fees, unlimited usage The monthly rates are between 3 and 8 Euros, depending on the selected destination plus a small setup fee from 2 to 7 Euros. Nothing more. TerraSip doesn't charge any additional hidden or per-minute fees. Susan Scheiber of TerraSip's management board comments this policy: ?We wanted to offer this service as cheap as possible for our members. So we pass them the same conditions, as we buy them. It is important, that our members feel as comfortable as possible with their TerraSip VoIP accounts.?
