[asterisk-biz] UK terminations/origination and DID

[Rehan AllahWala]

You can buy did's from one of our vendors in DIDX who has offered 70,000 DID's + on 
the didx.org

The price of his is 50 cents a number.

We can also sell you globalcrossing did's they are 1.5$ a number.

Global Crossing International Numbers are available from didx on request to us, and the 
other ones are already there on the didx system.
