Frequently Asked Questions

ENUM stands for Telephone Number Mapping. Behind this abbreviation there is a great idea: To be reachable anywhere in the world with the same number and via the best and economical route. ENUM takes a phone number and links it to an internet address which is published in the DNS system. The owner of an ENUM number can thus publish where a call should be routed to, via a DNS entry. In addition to that, different routes can be defined for different types of calls as an example we can define a different route if the caller is a fax machine. ENUM does require the phone of the caller to support it. You register an ENUM number the same way you register a domain.
