A SIP Trunk is the digital equivalent of a phone line and requires an existing phone system which cannot be setup without a technician. Replacing a traditional phone line, A SIP Trunk enables you to make and receive voice (or video) calls using the internet and is perfect for small offices to large enterprises.
SIP Trunking will reduce business costs, prepare your communications for NBN and may improve the quality of your phone service.
SIP Trunks will be the global standard for voice communications in the NBN era as it’s a cost effective and flexible system that supports fast growth around multiple geographic locations.
Instead of using traditional analogue PBX, SIP Trunks can save your customers up to 50% off their monthly bill in most cases. All due to call rates being lower and the elimination of landline rental fees.
With easy access to our admin portals, your IT team will have the flexibility to adjust call routing, change extensions, add handsets and more on demand with no calling off shore call centres for help.

During a call, you can have any of the following scenarios and more:

The setup you’ll need to make the switch to SIP trunking includes the following:
If you have an older PBX system, you may need a SIP-ISDN gateway. Newer systems may not require this additional hardware.
Is SIP Trunking right for me?
SIP Trunking is just one of many ways to run an office phone system. It may not be a suitable solution for every business. Importantly, SIP Trunking requires an existing phone system and cannot be setup without a technician.
Can I keep my old phone system?
Our SIP Trunks are interoperable with all major analogue and IP phone systems. SIP Trunking can also provide the voice calling component in Unified Communications software – such as Skype for Business (Microsoft Lync).
