SIP Trunking is one of the best ways to replace inflexible and expensive phone lines. Rather than using traditional, physical lines, with SIP you select how many trunks you need for each office location, how many numbers you want, and what features you wish to have. Not only is this cheaper, but it is a great way to customize your Business Phone System to fit your individual company. Here are some of the best features and advantages of SIP:
Why SIP Trunking?
SIP Trunks are routed through the Internet, which lowers costs and increases flexibility. For example, if a company requires more lines, it is done virtually by purchasing more trunks. Unlike with traditional phone lines (which have to be purchased in blocks), you can purchase as many or as little SIP Trunks as you like. Furthermore, SIP Trunks requires little maintenance. If maintenance is required, it can often be done remotely.
SIP Trunking Benefits
SIP Trunking comes with great features, not found in traditional systems. With SIP you can enjoy DIDs (Direct Inward Dial numbers), e911, Calling Name and Inbound Caller ID, directory listings, and automatic failover.
Additionally, SIP offers extremely reliable service. For example, if your Business Phone System goes down for any reason, your SIP Trunks aren’t affected. Your SIP provider can redirect calls to a smartphone or backup location. This is great because you can stay in touch with your customers regardless of the situation.
SIP Trunking is also great for remote offices. With SIP technology, you can merge voice and data into a single network. This not only saves money in general, but it also allows you to consolidate remote workers and global locations into a single phone system.
