SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunks are virtual phone lines that allow businesses to make and receive calls over the internet to anyone with a phone number. If you’re sitting on the fence on SIP, here are 5 benefits you should consider.
It’s 2022 and more IT leaders are opting to migrate their business telephony to the cloud using a soft phone system like Zoom Phone, as part of their digital transformation efforts.
We all know Zoom, but what is Zoom Phone?
Zoom Phone is a flexible cloud-based business VoIP phone system developed by teleconferencing provider Zoom. In other words, it is a cloud phone – also commonly known as soft-phone. With just one app, users can make calls from personal computers, desk phones, Zoom Rooms, and cell phones from one app.
Why is Zoom Phone so popular?
Because cloud phone systems unlike traditional on-premise telephone systems come with a host of benefits for any enterprise, including access to the most up-to-date features, better support for remote and hybrid teams, ability to quickly scale according to business needs, and help reduce the total cost of ownership of your communications platform.
There’s just one issue: any cloud phone system – including Zoom Phone – still needs a PSTN network if the business wants to make phone calls externally.
It gets more complicated if the company has operations in different countries. For IT leaders, being able to pick the right telephony providers in order to provision numbers for all the countries becomes a messy, frustrating challenge.
