Hosted IP-PBX (News - Alert) provider Phone.com, which targets small business customers, now offers iNum Hosted numbers from Voxbone. That means Phone (News - Alert).com customers can be reached by phone for the cost of a local call from any of 4,000 cities in 49 countries.  

Through an introductory offer, Phone.com (News - Alert) customers can order an iNum through the PBX host’s self-service Web site at no charge.

Voxbone receives calls to numbers with its ITU-assigned +883 code and delivers them to Phone.com. Then, Phone.com’s Virtual Office PBX greets a caller with a customer’s own customized auto attendant, which requests the called person’s extension number and completes the call.

“An iNum number makes even the smallest business global, as it puts that business in the same ‘area code’ with every country in our voice network,” said Tim Behrsin, who leads Voxbone’s (News - Alert) iNum initiative. “Furthermore, the number is globally portable. Just as local number portability enables a business to keep its valuable phone identity if it changes providers, counties or perhaps even states, global number portability allows a business to retain its number if it moves - or grows - into other countries. INum thus encourages market expansion.”

"iNum enriches our relationship with Voxbone and magnifies the value of our Virtual Office offering," Ari Rabban (News - Alert), CEO of Phone.com, said in a statement.
