What is SIP
Trunking? A SIP Trunk is similar to a phone line, except that SIP utilizes the
Internet, not fixed wires into the building. This creates a single converged channel for voice, video and data. SIP
offers significant cost efficiency in comparison to fixed ISDN lines, enabling a business to reduce the
quantity of ISDN channels and replace them with less expensive SIP trunks while also delivering greater
cost savings and increased reliability.
So why should you be using SIP Trunks? Here are 7 benefits to help answer that
question:
-
Reduce call charges. SIP trunk call charges to standard numbers are lower cost per
minute than BT. Plus calls between SIP users are free.
-
Save up to 70% on line rentals. SIP trunk rentals are
far lower than analogue and ISDN lines and you can cut the total number of lines required by sharing
across your organisation.
- Save on non geographic 0800 and 0845 and out of area numbers. A company
based in Glasgow can be provided with a London telephone number and vice versa; providing you with
local presence at no extra cost.
-
Take your business number with you if you relocate your office. SIP provides total flexibility as
you to retain your present numbers wherever you move. You can even operate abroad and keep your
local UK numbers. And you can port your existing BT and Virgin numbers onto the SIP
trunk.
-
Get full
PBX functionality between sites. Remote workers and satellite offices can be connected and make and
receive calls as if they were sitting in the main office. You can pick up calls between offices and have a
distributed telesales function or provide receptionist cover at lunchtime.
-
Calls can
be easily switched to deliver a quick disaster recovery solution.
-
Rapid
installation when moving offices or when recruiting or relocating
staff.
Connecting your business telephones to the Internet and using SIP Trunking is probably the
single best decision you will make in the next 12 months. Within the next 10 years, 90% of telephone
calls worldwide will be made over IP links. Why not start harnessing the benefits now?
