SIP is still a hot topic in telecommunications, but we're still finding many customers who don't know the advantages of SIP. So here are some of the top grounds to choose SIP.
The 5 Advantages of SIP:
1. SIP trunking is normally far less expensive than traditional ISDN or PSTN. They have minimum set-up fees and cheaper line rental. Call rates are also just as reasonable. This is the main factor for most companies selecting SIP.
2. Port your present telephone numbers to SIP, no matter where you are. You can even buy new numbers and determine which STD code you want. Why not get a number for each main city and promote it nationally?? This is one of the main boons of SIP. So if you're in the process of shifting, porting your numbers to SIP may be the best solution to ensure your present customer base can still get hold of you.
3. If you require new lines in a hurry, SIP is the answer. If you previously have an internet connection, you won't be waiting weeks for an installation date. Most SIP providers can trigger SIP trunks within a day or two.
4. SIP enables you the flexibility of either having the numbers come into your PBX or diverting them to a landline or mobile. There are several grounds you might require this flexibility. Say, for instance, your building has a power outage, and the phone system is down – calls can be tapered at another landline or mobile number. Or, if your present telephone system doesn't promote SIP trunking, you could just port your telephone number to SIP & ask the provider to pivot them to your number.
5. Several SIP providers permit the end-user to make their configuration changes. In the power-outage scenario, given somebody within your business can get online, you can divert the calls to a mobile or another site. Best for disaster recovery planning!
