Why tie yourself down to a single country code (+33 for France, +44 for the UK, etc.)? Wouldn't it be easier to have a single code that worked everywhere? A Belgium-based provider of international inbound numbers and VoIP transport, Voxbone has developed just that. Its iNum product can assign country code +883 to any user, and calls can be received anywhere in the world.

The company's CEO and co-founder and Rodrigue Ullens said the idea of a single, portable country code responds to changing ideas about what it means to be international. Rather than thinking in terms of distance or national borders, telecom is increasingly oriented toward local presence and global relationships.

Voxbone will provide iNum numbers free to wholesale carriers and service providers, who in turn can give away the numbers to consumers based on their own business models.
