Well, I do have VoIP but my VoIP does work allthough ENUM does not. My router could use ENUM - but which one should I ask, "e164.arpa" or "e164.org"? Neither of them does know any of my phone numbers. <cynikal> I am told I could buy the domain that corresponds to one of my phone numbers but I would have to bring in a birth certificate of both me and my landlord to proove legal ownership of that phone number. The gouvernement of germany would hold an election about the matter and if everything was allright I might put my phone number on my tombstone finally. </cynikal> In the meantime you can call me on If your VoIP provider talks to sipgate.de +49(6252)750-308 If your phone allows to do that sip:1887188@xxxxxxxxxx or via no-ip.com dynamic DNS sip:1887188@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please allow for my local time. It is Québéc + 6 hours or Paris time :) <cynikal> I guess, right now ENUM could not do that no-ip.com trick. I would have to ask parliament every time my ip changed, to update my A record. </cynikal> Hope I was not too cynical.
