Cost Reduction

Legacy phone service needs wiring, hardware, and circuit boxes to maintain a PSTN connection. SIP Trunking, on the other hand, is installed virtually on your internet connection. Thus, completely eliminates the need to connect to Legacy phone lines. This single quality of SIP saves you a lot from physical installation costs. In fact, you will see on your Legacy phone bill, the cost of your service rising to as much as $100/Line or more. Your current provider wants you off of that Legacy service because it is so expensive for them to maintain.

With Legacy phone lines, there is a vast difference between charges of local calls and international costs. SIP Trunking is based on the internet, so the charge difference is much shorter. An additional benefit of SIP Trunking is that you only pay for lines you use as opposed to traditional systems where you have to pay for all phone lines, no matter if you use them or not.

Reliability and Security

Do your Legacy phone lines have built-in disaster recovery in case of emergencies? And how would stay connected with your customers and remote team if something goes wrong with your Legacy phone lines?

Being connected through wired phone line systems are as good as the conditions allow. The moment a disaster strikes, all your connections are lost. SIP Trunking forms a virtual connection between your business and your clients. Consider it invisible so physical issues won’t affect it as much. Even if something happens out of the blue, SIP reroutes the data or call to an available mobile phone or remote office to keep your business going despite all odds.

Flexibility

Legacy phone line systems do feel like a real headache when it comes to add, moves or changes to those phone lines. It requires the phone service technician to go through an entire procedure of making changes to the existing system (hardware purchase, installation and maintenance cost) and charge you for their Time & Materials.

The more you grow, the more you have to pay for extra trip and installation charges. And the more time you have to wait before the system starts working to meet your needs. With SIP Trunking, you just request us to add additional channels to your system. The work will be done in a matter of minutes. There are no extra charges or waiting for the installation guy to arrive and complete his work.

Minimized Maintenance

Since there are no requirement for physical connection like wiring or circuit boxes, your maintenance time and charges are reduced significantly. There’s no need maintain an analog or IP infrastructure as a ritual of keeping your phone system alive and increase the bills in the name of maintenance.

How does it work?

To understand SIP Trunking, you first have to know how the traditional phone system works:

You simply dial the number, it passes through Your Phone System, crosses over a PRI or copper lines and to finally reach the phone you are calling. The process is the same when a customer wants to call you. A PRI lines holds a maximum capacity of 23 calls at a time. That is, it.

SIP Trunking, instead of copper lines or PRI’s, carries all your calls through an internet connection which gives it an infinite capacity to make multiple calls with multiple channels over a properly sized internet connection.

Important terms to understand:

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange (also known as traditional or legacy phone system).

PRI (Primary Rate Interface) connects one call to another via copper lines. It has a maximum capacity of 23 concurrent phone calls.
