There are a few companies out there. I have tested my iNUM Number with Localphone. The Numbers are free and you can just attach them to your Localphone account. Using these numbers with your VoIP equipment is equally straight forward. Calls between iNUM users are free.

Since iNum are not yet reachable from every phone network in the world. There are local access numbers in 45 countries that can be used to reach iNum from any phone.
