I don't know about the other countries on your list, but I do know that you will have a 
hard time finding a DID provider for Mexico. The National Telecom Regulator in 
Mexico, Cofetel, has come down hard on VoIP providers. See the following links:

http://www.sineapps.com/news.php?rssid=344 
http://www.fsa.ulaval.ca/rdip/cal/lectures/aff_actualites/cofetel_closes_13_voip_fir.h
tm

The bottom line is that Cofetel is trying to protect the incumbent Telcos and forcing 
all VoIP providers to have a concession (read: license). 

Vonage (http://www.vonage.com/features.php?feature=virtual_phone_number) 
offers what they call a virtual DID in Mexico City, but you must have an existing 
Vonage DID in the US. Cofetel is trying to close these guys down too and I wouldn't 
be surprised if they manage to do so, unless Vonage has bought a Mexican 
concession.

If anybody does find a way to get a Mexico DID I would be interested in hearing 
about it.
