Products
VoxDID[4] and Vox800:[5] Voxbone’s geographic, non-geographic and toll-free telephone numbers for inbound SIP Trunking, connecting the local public switched telephone network (PSTN) with a global IP backbone in more than 50 countries.

Calls are then routed via redundant IP links to the nearest Voxbone SuperPOP in Brussels, New York, Los Angeles, Frankfurt or Hong Kong. From there, they are transported to the customer's VoIP network, anywhere in the world.
