A DID (Direct Inward Dialing) is simply a virtual phone number that exists without requiring a dedicated physical phone line. Unlike traditional phone numbers that are tied to specific physical telephone lines, DIDs operate in the digital realm.
Key Points About DIDs as Virtual Phone Numbers
Virtual Existence: A DID is not connected to any physical copper wire or dedicated line. It exists as a digital entity within the telecommunications network.
No Hardware Requirements: You don't need additional physical equipment to have multiple DIDs. One physical connection can support numerous virtual numbers.
Cloud-Based: DIDs are managed in the cloud and can be routed to any physical device or destination you choose.
Flexibility: As virtual numbers, DIDs can be quickly provisioned, reassigned, or terminated without any physical installation work.
Location Independence: A DID can have an area code from virtually anywhere while routing to any physical location with internet access.
