Another acronym is DISA -- Direct Inbound System Access. Since I have an Asterisks box (like Vlad and some others on this forum), it is often a good deal to temporarily purchase an inbound number in a country and be my own calling card service.

There are area also a number of free DIDs available for residents of various countries, but it is often a chore to get them when you aren't a resident. Additionally, you often have more capacity than you need. For example, my pay Australia DID which I use for calling card services for my brother can handle ten simultaneous inbound calls. It would be child's play to loan a connection to someone visiting Oz with a Piranha or Telna SIM which allows SIP URIs. At the same time, I don't want to go in business and want to know who I am dealing with.
