I have found both didww.com and voxbone.com equally reliable, though it
seems that Voxbone has some jitter on some of its incoming DIDs.
Didww.net has better pricing!<br>

<br>
<br>
* An API
<br>
* Immediate activation (or at least some numbers are immediately
<br>
activated)
<br>
* Have good tech support (either via email, IM or phone)
<br>
* Have good prices, and can negotiate on volume
<br>
<br>
I've found two thus far:
<br>
<br>
DID World Wide (didww.com)
<br>
* Their API works, though it has minimal functionality, but the
<br>
last test I made their mapping API call failed. They added
some
<br>
functionality to their API when I requested it, which was
very
<br>
nice.
<br>
* Customer support is good when you get it, but not
consistently
<br>
speedy. No phone support at all (or I can't find them or
their
<br>
hours aren't posted), even though they have a phone number.
<br>
* DIDs are immediately provisioned, work well, and good
quality.
<br>
* Pricing is pretty good, but I can only buy DIDs with inbound
<br>
minutes included, rather than pay a low price per minute and
a
<br>
lower per month fee per DID.
<br>
<br>
DIDx (didx.net)
<br>
* They have an API;
<br>
* haven't had to deal with their customer service yet
<br>
* must spend $20/month just to be part of DIDx until I hit 20+
DIDs
<br>
* Have heard rumors that Calls routed to the seller, then to
DIDx,
<br>
then to me.
<br>
* Rehan/Linda can be confusing at times, though I don't think
that
<br>
affects their service quality.
<br>
* Pricing seems ok, but very inconsistent due to multiple
sellers
<br>
<br>
What other providers are out there that offer competitive pricing,
quality,
<br>
service and connectivity?
<br>
<br>
Are there any points I'm wrong about above?
<br>
<br>
Any warm recommendations or cold reviews?
<br>
