iNum stands for international Number. It is a new kind of global phone number for a new kind of world — a world with a new geography that’s about local presence and global relationships, not about distance or national borders. TurboBridge now support iNum. Our iNum number to reach the TurboBridge conferencing service  is +883.510.001.399.900

iNum is making use of the +883 global country code newly created by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Unfortunately, this +883 number was not accepted by most telephone companies so you basically couldn’t dial it directly from any telephone. However. iNum and it’s partner’s set-up a network of local access numbers in 45 different countries so you could indeed dial iNum telephone numbers at no charge.

Basically, you find your access number (here’s the list), dial that local number and then enter the iNum number you wished to call and you’d be connected at no charge (sans the cost to dial the local number if any). While not the most perfect solution, it works.

FierceVoip is reporting that a handful of real telephone companies are now allowing you to call iNum numbers directly from their networks, meaning you don’t have to dial an access number first. This is a major and exciting step forward. TurboBridge supports iNum!

iNum is a beta service for TurboBridge, so we can guarantee the quality yet, nor are there worldwide access numbers, but with 45 countries, it’s a good start.

Wanna talk to us about it? Well we have an iNum number for customer support as well (+883.510.013.425.105)!
