In Germany it is possible to register an ENUM domain for a phone number. This provides a DNS mapping from the E164 number to DNS records, e.g. for IP phones, etc.
Decentralized and under user control, no shitty silos like FaceTime, WhatsApp.
ENUM stands for “Telephone Number Mapping.” It is essentially a bridge between the world of telecommunications and the Internet. With a single ENUM domain, you can combine all your contact options under your familiar phone number:

- captn3m0 5mo agoI saw this lets you do Fax over IP. Any other advantages or usecases?
- car 5mo agoI don't know if this gets much personal use, seems real cumbersome. But this is of huge interest to carriers, since it allows them to skip the PSTN/peering cost when the callee endpoint is an IP phone. There is private ENUM for carrier use I recall, not sure what the current status is, with LTE/VoLTE, RCS etc.pp. http://dam3d3.free.fr/PFE/Pathfinder/GSMA_PathFinder_WebSiteFAQ_(v1.0).pdf http://dam3d3.free.fr/PFE/Pathfinder/GSMA_PathFinder_WebSite... Here the list of countries that have ENUM delegated for their country code. https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/inr/enum/Pages/delegations.aspx https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/inr/enum/Pages/delegations.aspx

- wowczarek 5mo agoSadly ENUM is dead or buried or both for many countries.
- zajio1am 5mo agoThe main point of ENUM was compatibility with open SIP, unfortunately that never really happened and most SIP operators do not accept incoming calls from public internet (and do not route outgoing calls based on ENUM).
