Phone Numbers
Here are some useful numbers you can call with SIPbroker. Please feel free to edit this page and add useful numbers you find to the bottom of this page.
From
http://free411.com :
1-800-373-3411 free USA directory assistance (local white and yellow page listing, not just 800 numbers) and
free phone calls to any listed PSTN number. (After the number is spoken to you, the system will say "To be connected for free, just hold on.") The keys to using their voice recognition system successfully are to speak slowly, loudly, and with a full one-second pause between each word you speak, and to check
Amazon Yellow Pages to make sure you're speaking the business name the same exact way it's officially listed. (Note: Amazon Yellow Pages also gives you free phone calls, but only to business telephone numbers.) To get your own SIP number listed, get a free DID from
IPkall.com and then add that 360 phone number to
ListYourself.net.

Mini-FAQ about this page:
Q: What is an
open VoIP phone number?
A:
Open means that you can call that number from a proxy that is NOT a business partner. For example, you can only reach *393-613 (FWD echo test) from adapters registered to FWD or
one of FWD's peering partners, so that number is NOT fully open.
