SIP Trunks

Run your own PBX in house with Sip Trunks from another provider

Updated yesterday

What is SIP Trunking?

SIP trunking (Session Initiation Protocol trunking) is a modern alternative to traditional phone lines. It uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology to deliver voice calls over the internet, connecting your on-site PBX system directly to the outside world.

Instead of physical phone lines, SIP trunks create virtual voice channels over a data connection. This gives businesses more flexibility, scalability, and cost savings while maintaining control of their own phone system.


Key Benefits of SIP Trunks

  • Scalability: Add or remove voice channels as your business grows, without installing new physical lines.

  • Redundancy: SIP trunks can be configured with backup connections, ensuring calls continue even if one circuit fails.

  • Unified Communications: Multiple offices can connect through one PBX system, simplifying call management and reducing costs.

  • Cost Efficiency: SIP trunking often lowers long-distance and international calling costs compared to traditional PRI circuits.

  • Flexibility: Works with modern IP-based PBX systems and integrates easily with cloud services.


Things to Consider

For SIP trunking to perform reliably, your business needs a properly designed network with sufficient bandwidth, QoS (Quality of Service) configuration, and security protections in place. A strong setup ensures high call quality and avoids downtime.
