Small business VoIP users and Enterprise IP-PBX administrators can save money by unbundling SIP trunk service.
When you buy a VoIP “line” from a typical vendor (commonly refer to as a SIP trunk) it usually encompasses several different services bundled together, with all of the components of the service included in a single monthly charge.
Although the definition of a SIP trunk varies from provider to provider, the underlying service can be broken down into four separate categories or sub-components:
- A local number with the capability to receive inbound calls (this is usually called a DID);
- Outbound call termination (also called long distance or toll calling);
- Caller name display for inbound calls (also called CNAM); and
- Emergency 911 service.
In the VoIP world, these are all separate services and can be purchased separately.
If your provider follows this model, you can probabaly realize cost savings by purchasing the individual components separately. This is because not every user of the system uses or needs each of the four sub-components in equal amounts. For example, your users could probably share a single line with CNAM and emergency 911 service, allowing you to reduce the cost of SIP trunks by 80% and purchase inbound and outbound calling services individually at better rates.,/p>
