I have mixed feelings about DIDWW. Pros: * Quality seems to be decent. * Not much problems. * Clear calls for what I've tried.
Cons: * It's been a while since I had to use it - but when contacting support via chat.. slow and not really helpful. * Orders need to be approved whenever you purchase anything. You can get around this by pre-purchasing credit and buying your numbers with that credit later on, but I would expect a vendor to automatically approve payments/orders without a waiting period for old/verified customers. * No choice of number. All you get is choice of area code. And last but most definitely not least: * Pricing is too high. It's probably good for RETAIL customers, but pricing is too high if you're trying to resell those DIDs. We get 99% of our international numbers from DIDx because their prices are more reasonable. I'd love to work with DIDWW too, but they're pricing themselves out of the wholesale game. -- Nitzan Kon, CEO Future Nine Corporation http://www.future-nine.com --- On Tue, 11/18/08, SIP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: SIP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] UK DID provisioning with an API > To: "Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion" > <[email protected]> > Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 2:09 PM > How's overall service quality and customer support? > I've heard mixed > things about DIDww -- from people complaining they > couldn't get any > customer support and complaining of poor DID quality, to > people saying > they're the best thing since sliced pie. > > What's your take on things? > > N. > > > Peter Beckman wrote: > > DIDww has an API and immediately provisions numbers. > Decent pricing.
