Alex,<br><br>Ideally, what you are suggesting make sense but as I have noticed, many (actually all) carriers sell DIDs in bulk and they rather not deal with the APIs for individual DIDs even though you could be ordering 1000s of them on an hourly basis. Let's watch the thread and someone may suggest a carrier that provides such capabilities. <br>

encapsulation layer/transport - is a fairly standard offering from any<br>
sufficiently large and serious vendor. They couldn't possibly scale<br>
their business if they had to provision everything for you manually, nor<br>
would any high-volume wholesale or other channel customers use them.<br>
