If my Voip service goes bankrupt, how can I save my telephone number from evaporating into the ether?

2

How do they CREATE a VoIP telephone network (not just “how does it work, but how is it CREATED!)?

Did Vonage and Digis and magicJack and whatever others there are out there all have to place internet-conversion servers out at all different municipalities, so that when we call with our phone in the little box and then it goes over the internet, something is on the other end to convert those internet signals back into a regular phone call for those millions of people still using standard phone service? Wouldn’t that have taken several years to deploy all over like that? Or exactly how do ya do that?

Does each new VoIP phone company have to put their own receiving-end convert-down servers in every area of the nation like that, or do they share resources, or what, exactly? Well, I mean would it be that the first one who did it (was it Vonage?) have laid all that ground work, and then the new ones, so that they don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just lease parts of the same systems from the first one (probably Vonage)?

But if that were the case, then what about magicJack, with their only $20/year system? In order to not have to pay the earlier settlers lease for their work, they’d have to have “reinvented the wheel” for their system, huh?

One person told me that they got the traditional phone companies to do that work for them. Well, how would that go over well with those companies, knowing how much competition the VoIPs might be against them? So if that were the case, then how could that kind of cooperation be reached?

And either way, then if there’s internet in distant nations from us (the USA where I am), why don’t we just get to pay the same monthly rate when calling someone connected to a regular phone company out in… oh, say… the Philippines, as we do here, instead of still having to pay the semitraditional, but still somewhat inexpensive, 17-23c/min. or so that companies like OneSuite.com charge us (still less expensive than regular phone companies charge without a monthly international rate plane in place)?

How does that all work (not just the service itself, but how to BUILD a network that works like that)? You don’t need to try to answer how the sound data is converted into and back out of digital packets and transferred over the internet servers out there. I’m just asking mostly about bringing that internet signal back down to regular phone networks. Can ya answer that, please?

Will you please come back to see what follow-ups (but not chat) I may need to return to your answers in case those answers could use editing for additional clarification or other information in order to be complete (because of some kind of comparison logic or whatever)?

Thanks, if so.
By the way, this OneSuite.com isn’t the kind of service where we plug our phones into special hardware, and I don’t even know if it uses VoIP in some way. It’s just a service that lets us pay 17-23 cents per minute for calling places like the Philippines from here when we dial their number and then our PIN and then the number we want to call. I mentioned them just for the comparison between their prices and just the flat rates for within-the-nation calling with services like Vonage, Digis, and magicJack.
Thanks, Classic Sat, for your rather detailed answer. I still have questions about how it all works, but I guess I’ll have to write a new main one for that, because this one has run out of time for adding details and editing answers as the need for follow-ups comes up.

For example (and you can e-mail me about this): So you’re saying that the traditional phone service company sets up that other end of VoIP for the VoIP phone company? If so, how does the VoIP company get them to do that even though the traditional phone company would lose money by losing customers (even though the pay on THAT end you say is the same amount–since it wouldn’t be on the customer end)?

Or if the VoIP phone company still has to take their own equipment into the trad. phone company’s shops and set them up, then how do they get the trad. phone company to let them do that (same concern as above, but different scenario, just depending on which scene is the correct one)?

VoIP telephone number and 911?

If selling regular telephone numbers to be used with a VoIP service is there a requirement (100%) to have 911 service available, too? Example, if you could get an inbound number on Skype that would ring your Skype phone by dialing 1-800-555-5555 would the service attached to that phone number require 911 service?
