ENUM-capable email client?
by Carsten Schiefner 16 Apr '06

16 Apr '06

All, there is a Firefox ENUM plug-in (currently for Win only) available at: http://www.falb.at/ that resolves enum:[E.164 number] to an URL in case such web service is specified in the respective ENUM zone to that very E.164 number. E.g., with this plug-in, a click on enum:+43780325228 would get you to Juergen Falb's homepage, too. My question is: is anyone aware of a similar extension or even built-in function of a mail client, so that an E.164 number would be resolved to an email address? Best regards, Carsten Schiefner

An E.164 number may can considered as an identifier of some person, different applications can get corresponding address information by ENUM resolving. I also think that for MUA it should firstly turn an E.164 number into an appointed Email address, which is convenient to access destined person and also can be flexible to change when needed, not ENUM as a new fixed Email address like +861062619750(a)e164.arpa.

please help us make the ENUM number range +43 780 a success
by Alexander Mayrhofer 14 Oct '05

Hi, as you probably know, Austria has a dedicated ENUM driven number range in place since May 2005: +43 780. Reachability of numbers within this range from the PSTN is good within Austria, but still a patchwork from abroad (as with all new number ranges). it is very hard to debug PSTN connectivity from the receiving end - which is why we are asking you dedicate a few minutes of time and a phone call. To collect the information we've set up a Wiki page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/43780 To help us make it better, follow these steps: - take a "conventional" phone line of your choice (PSTN, mobile - the more data points, the better) - call the test number "+43 780 004711" - if you hear the word "ENUM" followed by some elevator music, routing from your telco is ok - perfect! - if it doesn't work, take a note of what happened (announcement, error message, error indication etc.) - leave a note about your success or failure to the wiki page indicated above. If possible, add rate information. - repeat this test for any carrier you have access to. If you detect a failure, and happen to know or work for the telco - please notify the relevant person to fix the problem, it is theirs. We're happy to talk to them if you get us in touch. Thanks for your help - we really appreciate it. Feel free to forward this message to people who might contribute more data points. thanks, Alex Mayrhofer enum.at
