Hi Experts. <br />
<br />
I am in a strange situation with a 1-888 number my organization is using , we have the same 1888 number in Canada and US. I am in Canada and when I dial this 1-888 # it is being picked up by a person and that is good . but when Someone dials the 1-888 number in TEXAS and I am informed by our staff in TEXAS that it should ring to a local number. <br />
<br />
My question is this number 1-888 supplied by the same carrier? Can the same number be supplied by different carriers at the same time ? I know the carrier in Canada but I do not know the carrier in the US. <br />
<br />
Please assist

Trouble identifying 1888

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. Communication technology uses channels to transmit information (as electrical signals), either over a physical medium (such as signal cables), or in the form of electromagnetic waves. The word is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.
