Schedule a call

Another term for your ever-growing menu, this time, however, it’s a significant one.

In the world of conversations, ISDN, VoIP & PBX… it’s time for SIP to take the stage, with its powers to save you a lot of time, but most significantly, money.

 

So, what is SIP Trunking?

Session Initiation Protocol, generally known as SIP. An application layer protocol used to create and eliminate data and voice transfers, also a type of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which refers to calls provided over the internet.

VoIP is based solely on SIP, using a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) to send and receive calls. Relieving the soon to be obsolete Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), a system that transmitted data and voice digitally over various wires.

 

Is SIP Trunking worth it?

Worst case scenario, your business is still using ISDN & a PBX to facilitate your calls, in which you’re probably contemplating, what’s wrong with ISDN…?

When it originated in 1986, (yes, it’s that old), it was a great opportunity for businesses to adopt. The ability to deliver voice and data over one line, it was a technology dream, nowadays there is a combination of better, improved options available.

If you’re considering a switch, not only is it less costly to control; it’s also less expensive on a day-to-day basis… you could save up to 50% on line rentals and up to 25% or more on call costs. With a lot of SIP providers offering free internal calls, which is very handy for medium-sized businesses.

 

A step in the right direction; SIP Trunking

With its endless possibilities and ease of growth, SIP offers you trustworthiness in your business. You don’t need to worry about interference or outgrowing your premises, SIP Trunking can support growth in a consistent manner.

SIP Trunking isn’t the only option out there, in which you may be thinking – If you don’t have a PBX, Cloud Hosting Telephony is a terrific alternative, which could very well be the future of communications throughout your business.

With ISDN ending in 2025, as announced by BT themselves, the benefits of SIP can change the way you move forward as a business.
