DIDX Members' Voice Mashups and Business Models

Thomas Howe's definition of voice mashup (listed on Youtube) ... an application that is written on top of other services usually involving APIs somewhere that integrates voice with something else that makes that something else more valuable. A few of the many examples among 12,500 DIDX members of Voice Mashups are listed at...

Friends become Business Partners and Vice Versa

Sometimes your friends become your customers, business partners or suppliers or vice versa. We think the world of VoIPSwitch as friends but also as inspiring innovators in IP telephony and IP communications. We met online through DIDX back in 2005, but we met Chris, Lukasz, Michel, Michael and more from VoipSwitch in person finally at ITEXPO East in Miami.



VoipSwitch and we met again at CommunicAsia 2009 in Singapore in February and had the most amazing time referring clients back and forth, helping entrepreneurs make their mash-up ideas a reality, and bringing on new global carriers to sell DID from new countries on DIDX!

Check out their video that explains how to leverage the wholesale DID marketplace on Youtube with DIDX's new API, and the great article that TMCnet editor Tim Gray edited on the DID/DDI channel.

So, what else are DIDX and VoipSwitch doing? Co-sponsoring a Lucky Strike Bowling Party during ITEXPO West 2009 in Los Angeles! ITEXPO West is a great conference for consumers, early adopters, carriers, voip companies, ip communications companies, ip pbx vendors, wireless operators and more. It's Sept 1-3. You can sign up for free expo passes, but even better get a conference pass which includes great educational sessions, breakfast, lunch, receptions and more close proximity to others who are serious business development and procurement. Sign up at http://www.itexpo.com.

New phone numbers from Jordan and Iceland on DIDX

Wholesale IP communications can now satisfy clients who need a local presence in Jordan, Iceland as well as Beijing, China; South Korea and Japan. Check the complete list of countries' DID available at http://www.didx.net/did and more indepth information on these particular new areas at http://blogs.didx.net/2009/06/new-phone-numbers-on-wholesale-didx-of.html.

Let me backtrack because some readers are asking:
1. What is a DID? It's an acronym meaning direct inward dialing. Today we use it synonymously with the phrase "phone number." Because of voice over Internet, SIP and open source telephony such as Asterisk and FreeSWITCH and more, telephone service providers are potentially able to provide anyone a phone number from any country in the world ... to have a local presence there.

2. Why would anyone want a phone number from Jordan or Iceland if they are not living and working in one of those countries? If you want to start receiving phone calls from people in a certain city or country, you want to make it easy for them to call you. They are more likely to call you if the phone number they dial is local to them. You buy a phone number that is local to them and set it to ring to your favorite instant messenger, a SIP or IAX2 address, landline or cell phone. Ask your telephone service provider if they are using DIDX.net? If they are, you have available to you ... phone numbers from more 60 countries. If they are not, send them to http://www.didx.net/signup.
