SIP Trunking has exploded in popularity in recent years. They are a great way for businesses to reduce their communication costs while improving their Business Phone System at the same time. Who needs SIP Trunks, however? Are they beneficial for all businesses? To answer this question, it is important to understand what SIP Trunking is.
SIP Trunking
A SIP Trunk is a direct connection between your business and your ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider). Rather than a physical phone line, a trunk is similar to a circuit that delivers voice and data to your business. It provides the same service as a physical line, but it is virtual instead. This is why SIP Trunking is much less expensive than traditional phone services. In fact, SIP Trunking can completely replace your PRI services. It is more flexible and technically superior to PRI services. SIP is capable of carrying calls, instant messages, multimedia conferences, enhanced 911, and more.
Who Needs SIP Trunks
SIP Trunks can benefit nearly every organization. It can simplify your telecommunications and save you money. Businesses currently using a Traditional Business Phone System should immediately consider switching to SIP. As mentioned, it can increase your flexibility and save you money. Here’s how it can improve your budget:
- Less expansive than PRI: If you are currently using a PRI, SIP Trunking is a great way of eliminating that costly service.
- Pay for what you need: Traditional systems require you to purchase lines in blocks. SIP Trunking only requires you to pay for what you need.
