What type of information would you be looking for from the DID providers? I know the company that I am with works with one DID provider, but might be interested in expanding beyond that. I would also recommend/request that the database have info in it letting people know about the outbound call providers. I am not sure if that is a common idea to have an * server running outbound calling lines to many different phone markets, let alone 4+ area codes, but it is something I am involved with.

Is anyone willing to host/manage a website that people
can simply browse that lists all current DID providers
and their coverage areas?
It's a good idea and probably not too hard to implement,
it's just a case of deciding how far you want to go.. are
areacodes good enough? or do you need to go to NPA-NXX
level and start talking about rate centers etc?

Ok.. I'm going to have a stab at this.. I'd like to have some kind of search mechanism similar to that at www.voipreview.org where you can select country and area (by state/city? or would people prefer by areacode?) then generate a list of all providers than can supply DIDs in that area, together with setup/rental charges, per minute charges, etc.

Before I go reinvent the wheel totally from scratch, is there anyone out
there that has data in electronic form that they use already for this sort
of thing? I'm looking for country code listings, area code listings,
NPA-NXX to city name listings etc.

Replies to the list, or forward data files to web-dids at ivrl.com

Cheers
Paul
