What is SIP Trunking?
SIP Trunking allows residential and business users to make low cost phone calls utilizing SIP trunk providers over the internet (IP). A SIP Trunk is a pathway for voice calls over IP. SIP Trunks are created by SIP based IP PBX's or directly by on-site SIP enabled devices such as softphones or handsets. Dialing rules determine when a call is routed from the local network to the SIP trunk provider, just as in a traditional telephone network. Talking SIP™ is positioned between the end customers SIP device(s) and the SIP trunk provider where Talking SIP™ can rate, bill and route calls to the SIP trunk provider(s).
