An International DID Number (Direct Inward Dialing) is for inbound calls – a virtual local number in a foreign country that routes calls back to your India PBX, SIP trunk or mobile, so customers abroad reach you on a familiar local number. Voice termination is the outbound side — carrying your calls from India to phone networks anywhere in the world, billed per minute by destination. Most businesses serving global customers use both.

We cover DID numbers in 150+ countries — local, national, mobile and toll-free types, depending on availability. Some countries require local address proof, a registered business presence or specific regulatory documentation before a number can be activated. We flag those requirements per country during matching so there are no surprises.

Termination is billed per minute on an A-Z basis — every destination has its own rate, and the same destination can have premium or standard routes that trade price against quality. Billing increments (for example per-second or 60/60) and any minimum commitments also affect your effective cost. The comparison shows these clearly so you're not caught out by a low headline rate.

Often yes — with two-way/SIP DID you can present a local number in the destination country, which improves answer rates. CLI delivery does vary by route and country regulations, and some destinations restrict or overwrite caller ID. We test CLI delivery on the routes we list so you know what to expect before you commit.

It is, provided you route through properly licensed carriers and follow Indian rules. Legitimate international voice in India must run over ILD (International Long Distance)-licensed networks — grey routes that bypass licensed operators are illegal. If you run a call centre or BPO, you should also keep your operations aligned with DoT and TRAI norms. Every carrier we list routes over licensed infrastructure, and we can connect you with a specialist on your specific obligations. This is general guidance, not legal advice — confirm current requirements with DoT/TRAI or your provider.
