I don't know if this gets much personal use, seems real cumbersome.

But this is of huge interest to carriers, since it allows them to skip the PSTN/peering cost when the callee endpoint is an IP phone.

There is private ENUM for carrier use I recall, not sure what the current status is, with LTE/VoLTE, RCS etc.pp.

Here the list of countries that have ENUM delegated for their country code.
