I am looking for Voip phone service to dial and recieve calls from Pakistan.?

Question

I am looking for phone service from which i can dial and recieve calls from Pakistan. Is there any service out there which provies you a Pakistan's mobile number instead of a land number.

Answer 1

To the best of my knowledge, no.

VoIP services do not issue phone numbers to cellular phones.  Those numbers are issued by your cellular service provider.

When VoIP services issue phone numbers, those phone numbers are linked to your VoIP account, not an actual telephone or cell.  Phone numbers linked to VoIP accounts are referred to as Virtual Numbers (or, more correctly called a DID - Direct Inbound Dialling number).

To receive those phone calls to your DID, you have to be on a computer that is on the Internet and logged into your VoIP account.  

Or, have an ATA (analog telephone adapter) box connected to the Internet which is logged into your VoiP account, which then plugs into your regular telephone.

The only way to get those DID phone calls to your cell phone is to subscribe to a VoIP service that provides DID's in Pakistan and then have those incoming calls forwarded to your cell phone.

CallCentric and InPhonex are two VoIP service that has DID's world-wide, including Pakistan.  (find the link through my profile).

Once you have acquired an "International DID" for Pakistan, then you can configure your web account to forward all incoming calls for your DID number to your Cell Phone number (or any other number for that matter).
