Simon/Tony, Yes a number of people are using this, since it has been developed about 1 month ago 400+ asterisk users have registered.
There have been a number of posts on the asterisk list about the e164 service. There will also be a client to divert calls from your asterisk to mobile or other numbers released in about 1 weeks time. Tony, as per you inference that e164 are up to something shady, you should talk to one of the founders Duane, he currently has about 5 open source projects, I've known him personally for about 3 years since he started a wireless mesh network here in Sydney, he has in a very short time frame given back to the asterisk community a number of initiatives, he is beyond reproach. Simon, you are right though, we need to get a 'tipping point' of users listed.

It's a "non-profit public DNS root designed to map phone numbers to Internet protocols." Is anyone on this list actually using this? They have asterisk config instructions: http://www.e164.org/config.php I wonder if someone can help me understand this. Let's say I configure my asterisk box to use e164 and then I try to call a phone number in Germany. I'm in the U.S.A. So if the number I'm calling in Germany is registered in e164's dns, would my call be routed directly via their voip provider? Or directly to their asterisk box? And would it be free? If that's the case, it sounds kind of cool, but probably won't be much use until lots of people sign up. Any explanation appreciated. Thanks. Simon in New Orleans P.S.- Yes, I did read their FAQ. http://wiki.e164.org/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
