“Being able to make and receive calls reliably is crucial. By switching to Nextiva, we haven’t had any issue contacting customers no matter what phone network they’re on.” Jeff Rudd, IT Manager at Elkhart Clinic

What is SIP Trunking?

SIP trunking uses VoIP to move your Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system's call traffic over an internet connection. This way, your PBX connects with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) without traditional phone lines. No more Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or analog lines!

As for a SIP trunk...

A SIP trunk is a phone line that uses the SIP protocol. And so, a VoIP service provider like Nextiva can connect one or more channels to your in-house PBX.

Hosted PBX vs. SIP trunking — what's the difference?

Hosted PBX

Lower hardware costs since all you need are IP phones, routers, and high-speed internet.
Most VoIP providers have a monthly subscription fee.
Hosted PBX services let you add new phone lines in a few steps.
Your teams can access these phone lines from anywhere in the world.
With an online admin portal and easy-to-use features, you don’t need an IT team.
Requires minimal maintenance.

On-premise PBX + SIP Trunking

Needs on-site IP PBX servers and a SIP trunking service like Nextiva. Higher upfront capital expenditure.
SIP trunking charges may be per minute or channel.
SIP trunking with traditional PBX may need more on-premise servers.
Traditional phones need a LAN connection to the IP PBX.
An IT staff member is critical to maintain these on-premise PBX systems.
Needs ongoing maintenance.

SIP FAQs

How is Nextiva's PBX SIP trunking service billed?

If you’re wondering how this phone service works in practice from an admin perspective, we send a pro-forma invoice to the email address for the account.

This happens five days before you’re charged the monthly recurring fee. We bill you at the beginning of the month for the new month you are entering.

The only arrears billing happens with the per-minute charges for our SIP unmetered plan or any toll-free calls to your Nextiva SIP trunk account.

Why Are SIP Trunks So Affordable?

If you’re looking at your current PBX bill and comparing it to the above numbers, you already know what makes SIP trunking affordable.
(In that case, you also may want to pull your hair out because of the money you’re throwing away.)

Here are the reasons why SIP trunking is so affordable:

There’s no need for expensive POTS (short for Plain Old Telephone Service) lines
Lower cost of per-minute calling, even on metered plans
Free calls between your employees and offices
It maximizes your existing phone system and connecting it to a cloud PBX

Scalability: How Many Channels Does a SIP Trunk Have?

If your company is growing, a traditional phone system will actually punish you for that. Hiring more people means adding more phone lines.

With PRI (Primary Rate Interface), you’re using a traditional phone line to make phone calls. Each PRI circuit allows for up to 23 simultaneous calls. If you need more, you have to buy PRIs in bundles of 23 channels at a time.

Your bill becomes unnecessarily high because you’re paying for a number of channels you don’t need. This system doesn’t give you flexibility or predictability in your recurring or upcoming expenses. It makes scaling particularly difficult if you’re growing your call center.

SIP trunks make it easy to upgrade to a higher plan at any time. You can add more concurrent calls (also known as SIP channels) and phone numbers in real-time.
