DID in Voice Over Internet Protocol Communications

Direct inward dialing service has similar relevance for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications. To reach users with VoIP phones, DID numbers are assigned to a communications gateway connected by a trunk to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the VoIP network.

Calls originating in the VoIP network will appear to users on the PSTN as originating from one of the assigned DID numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    “And still we wear our uniforms, follow
    The cracked cry of the bugles, comb and brush
    Our pride and prejudice, doctor the sallow
    Initial ardor, wish to keep it fresh.
    Still we applaud the President’s voice and face.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
