Yeah, I have been swinging (not literally :-)) both ways on this, and
enum if my preference, the short digits within networks are a stop gap,
and will be dropped if enum gets moving, however for now I guess the 3/4
digit prefixes for each network are okay, having said that I cant see
users really using it, in fact how many people here have interconnects,
and actually have cross-network traffic (i.e calls/min) I know I have
zero, and never had a request :-)

That will be sometime in future, if ever -- depending on who and how

interconnection method, based on prefix, that none has regulated and
nobody had tried (afaik) to make kind of agreements to use same prefix
for same domain. The bad things is that the business cannot wait until
ENUM is adopted in all countries, so you have to live without for a
while and then will be pretty hard to teach your customers to adopt
new contact numbers and so on.
There is a list with some VoIP service providers,
but for sure it is
not complete:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-VOIP+Service+Providers
Anyhow, some of them may not accept calls from foreign networks so
you should check if you can interconnect. Prefix routing is your
solution and I guess each provider implements its own numbering and
prefix allocation policy - I have not heard about any
standardization in this direction.
The routing protocol is ENUM, but only few service providers have
ENUM entries for their number ranges. The problem is that most
countries are still in a "trial" state. There are also private ENUM
trees to benefit from ENUM without paying for the ENUM domains (like
e164.info...)
IMO using prefixes is PITA. You need a prefix for every SIP domain
(there will be thousands soon). User has to remember all the
prefixes. That does not scale. This remembers the beginning of the
Internet without DNS where you had to edit the hosts file of your PC.
Their are also other mechanisms (like Dundi for asterisk). But ENUM
is the only method where the association between Internet phone
numbers and E.164 phone numbers is validated by a public authority.
Of course ENUM would be an ideal solution to this, let's see when it
will be globally adopted.

Hi guys,
I've made my first full operational SER Server, in fact there are
too server talking to each other. When the call is not to another
SER server, it forwards to another external server, when the
requested number belongs to my other SER Server it go there and
close the voip tunnel, just as usual. So, at the moment, I'm
implementing my routing logic, in order to implement it well, i
need all the phone ranges and their server names or IP to route all
the calls to the right server, for example, if a user calls a
"1213..." begging phone number, it goes to Go2Call, and so on the
all other Phone numbers. Do anybody know where can I find a list of
phone number ranges all over the world, I mean, every VoIP server
has a certain range, without it my calls will be lost, and they
will not end where they were meant to.
Thanks in Advance.
