Because ENUM resolution under +8781039311 does not work anymore, I
decided to take things into my own hands. So I registered the Austrian
ENUM number +43 780 393393 and defined all FWD numbers as extensions
behind that. The extensions are always 6 digits. 5 digit FWD numbers
have to be dialled with a leading zero, and the tree digit special
codes have to be dialled with three leading zeros. Thus ENUM
resolution is as follows:

+43 780 393393 123456 -> 123456 @ fwd.pulver.com
+43 780 393393 012345 -> 12345 @ fwd.pulver.com
+43 780 393393 000123 -> 123 @ fwd.pulver.com

Up to here it is simply a replacement for the defunct +878 solution.
But now for the more interesting part: +43780 is the Austrian ENUM-
only number range, which is automatically routed from the PSTN via
generic gateways. So from now on, every FWD mwmber also has a PSTN
number!

Calling +43 780 393393 xxxxxx (from Belgian PST line): worked perfectly !
Calling +43 780 393393 xxxxxx (from my FritzBox, ENUM enabled) : worked
perfectly !
(xxxxxx = my own FWD number)

I get Number Unobtainable when calling from a BT line and a Voipfone
line to my 5-digit FWD number (prefixed by zero).

Can you call +43 780 393393 000000 from your BT line and post the
results? You should hear an announcement telling you how many
extension digits were transmitted by the network.

4 digits from my BT line.

(Voipfone didn't connect.)

HTH,

So I fear the UK is the first country with negative feedback: They
only transmit 15 total digits, which is unfortunately perfectly
compliant with ITU rules. So far I had only positive feedback from
several countries, meaning that in fact more than the ITU-recommended
15 digits get handled.

I would be very much interested in results from the United States.

Well, anyway, I did the project for the ENUM part, and there number
length should be no issue. The PSTN reachability is a goodie on top of
it, and I guess in a couple of weeks I will be able to compile a list
of countries from where it works and from where it doen't.

Calling 00 43 780 393393 000000 from the UK:

1. Via NTL, "This system received <long pause>. Thank you for calling.
Goodbye." Voice quality very muffled.

2. Via Voipfone: No connection.

3. Via One.Tel: No connection.

4. Via DialWise (0844 861 4545): "The number cannot be reached."
