DID-Direct Internal Call (also known as DDI in Europe) is a feature that phone companies offer to their subscribers. This feature is used with PBX systems owned by subscribers. Telephone companies assign their customers a number field associated with one or more telephone lines through the DID system. The purpose of this is to enable a company to give special phone numbers to all employees without allocating a separate phone line to each employee. In this way, telephone traffic can be divided and managed more easily. To take advantage of the DID feature, you must purchase an ISDN or digital line and ask the telephone company to assign you a number field. You will then need DID compatible BRI, E1 or T1 cards or gateway equipment for use in your own business.
