I am on the board of our local track club. We pay almost $70.00 a month for a line to plug an answering machine into. There are no outgoing calls and 30-40 inbound calls a month. Would a DID work for us?? Can this DID be installed in the club house?? Thanks

DID, probably way more expensive. You'll have to rent a block of numbers, and normally the minimum number of lines is 4. Do you know what a DID is and what it's for? Maybe you're not telling us the whole story?

Or maybe he's using the "other" definition of DID as perpetuated by the New Voip Guys.

? DIL or DISA maybe? Or maybe just plain inbound hunt group? It would seem that it's a 'business' POTS line, possibly 'car-loaded' with all the bells and whistles (Forwarding, Conference Calling, Speed Dialing, Callback), which would explain the high cost.

All the DIDs I see here are come in on a PRI...you buy a block of numbers.

DID still requires a line, or lines, or a PRI to deliver the call and makes no sense anyway since you are only getting calls on one line ...there would be no reason to purchase a block of DID's on top of the number associated with your line.
You should be able to get a cable line with unlimited calling, voice mail etc for well under $50.
