Techopedia Explains Telephone Number Mapping (ENUM)
Telephone number mapping is a solution for providing Internet subscribers with a cheap, easy connection to the Internet. Users must register phone numbers for ENUM much like registering for a domain. ENUM allows operators to define specific routes for several types of calls. Users with ENUM-registered numbers can have calls forwarded in different modes. This enables users to increase their communication options even when the phone line is busy. There are three main types of ENUM: User ENUM:Normally known as public ENUM, it is the original aspect of ENUM where users have the option to select a country code level from the E164.arpa domain.
