DID (Direct Inward Dial) Numbers are used to receive incoming calls. These phone numbers can be called from any phone, including mobile phones and payphones. So whether you are a local, national, or global business, you can use your DID numbers.
Also keep in mind that in VoIP.ms you do not need to have a DID number in your account in order to be able to place outgoing calls. For sending outgoing calls it is just required to have a balance over $0.
