SIP Trunking

Your legacy phone system. Our cloud. Connected.

Session initiation protocol (SIP) trunking is cost-effective technology that connects legacy phones and IP PBXs to the cloud without removing or replacing them. With SIP trunking, Vonage makes it easy to update legacy phone systems and get cloud-hosted voice, video, data, text and other unified communications using the scalability of the internet.

What is SIP trunking?

Session initiation protocol (SIP) is the technology and the standard that empowers Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) within modern businesses. SIP trunking is the process by which this technology is applied to VoIP systems: SIP trunks replace traditional telephony trunks to bring enhanced communications to both IP networks and legacy systems.

SIP trunking to achieve streamlined routing

Save money with SIP trunking

By partnering with a SIP trunk provider, you can achieve automated and streamlined routing, offer higher-quality employee experiences, and also enable significant savings.

Limit capital expenditures. SIP trunking allows you to add upgraded functionality to your legacy phone system without replacing an entire system
Add reliability. By deploying features from the cloud, SIP trunking ensures business continuity and productivity
Lower TCO. By getting rid of voice and data hardware systems, SIP trunking can lower your total cost of ownership
Customizable. Only pay for the call paths you need instead of being forced to install (and pay for) an entire PRI.

SIP trunking enables cloud communications with high-speed internet

With SIP trunk over a high-speed internet, you can access Vonage cloud capabilities on your traditional PBX. You can even keep your phones. As a top SIP trunk provider, Vonage Business offers private SIP interoperability with Cisco^® Call Manager, Avaya^®, Asterisk^®, Zultys^®, and more.

More scalability, call trafficking, and disaster recovery

Many primary rate interface (PRI) systems require the purchase of 23 channels at a time. SIP trunks can be purchased individually so scaling up or down is simple. As a top SIP trunk provider, we also design solutions to handle high call volume and automatic call rerouting, vital to your service if there’s problem on a circuit.

Up-front investment in hardware for deployment

Turn your legacy phone system into a communications powerhouse

Consolidate and save

Say goodbye to expensive PSTN gateways, multiple providers, and local voice trunks. Vonage Business with SIP trunking can give you nationwide coverage, all under a single account.

Flexible solution

SIP benefits are numerous and include: enabling communications system migration, automated streamlining measures, fax capabilities, and quality-boosting call environments

Business continuity and better uptime

SIP trunking features reside in the Vonage geo-redundant cloud rather than at your office. In the event of a disaster, calls can be redirected to an unaffected location. Or individual phone numbers can be rerouted to the destination or device of your choice.
