I've received an explanation for the change from Callcentric, and I'm passing it along to help any other Callcentric users: An iNum is a free number (15 digit number) that was created to provide a global dial code for IP Communications. You may read about what an iNum is here: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INum_Initiative). We're no longer providing iNum numbers as the company behind the iNum project is no longer maintaining the project. You may read more in our iNum FAQs (https://www.callcentric.com/faq/49).
