VoipDiscount does not allow inbound URI addresses to your account. This means that you cannot use SipBroker to dial from the PSTN network into your VoipDiscount account. You can complain to VoipDiscount for this and ask them to change their policy. It is however their right to not allow incoming calls from other SIP providers.

You can set up a free US based PSTN number with FreeDigits.com and set the call forward option to the URI user@sip.VoipDiscount.com and this will work. It is also possible to set the call forward option in the VoipDiscount web interface to a PSTN (or mobile) international number of your choice. So when someone calls you at the US number the call will be forwarded to VoipDiscount and then onwards to your designated PSTN number. In this case you will have to pay for the second leg of the call according to their tariff. This can be convenient for places where broadband does not exist, as a free US number can be linked to any other international number at very low cost.

Create a FreeDigits.com account and forward your calls to the VoipDiscount URI User@sip.voipdiscount.com. Then you can use the SipBroker.com PSTN access numbers with the SIP prefix *665 that corresponds to FreeDigits followed by your FreeDigits number.

This way your call will be forwarded from FreeDigits to VoipDiscount and effectively you will have a free DID number linked to the VoipDiscount account which will also be accessible from the SipBroker PSTN numbers.

It works with SipDiscount.com, NoNoh.net and presumably with all other Betamax sites (betamax price comparison).

One point to note is that from within the VoipDiscount login page a call can be forwarded to any PSTN/mobile number on a permanent basis. This may be usefull to people who are on the move.
