Technology uses one number to find you on any device

Say goodbye to missed connections.

Imagine being able to reach a person anywhere simply by typing in a single telephone number on the Internet. The message could be sent to any possible point of contact: cell phone, e-mail, instant messenger, voice mail or any other form of electronic communication.

This kind of white pages on steroids is one goal of a new technology being tested by some major Internet and telephone companies. Proponents of the technology, known as "Enum"--presumably an abbreviation of "electronic
numbers"--call it a critical step toward merging the Internet and old-world telephone systems.
