Award-winning SIP Trunks
Connect your PBX to the PSTN in minutes with Gradwell’s trusted SIP Trunks.
What are SIP Trunks and how do they work?

What is a SIP Channel?
A SIP channel is the capability to support incoming and outgoing calls. Every SIP trunk contains a number of channels, which are virtual versions of telephone lines. The number of channels you need depends on how many concurrent calls your business makes.
What’s the difference between SIP and VoIP?
VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol makes and receives phone calls over the internet or internal networks. SIP is an application layer protocol used to make, manage and terminate multimedia sessions, including voice, video and messaging. While SIP is an initiation in its own right, it is mainly used to support IP technology, like VoIP calls.
What requirements do I need for a SIP Trunk?
The basic requirement for SIP trunks is an internet connection, with good bandwidth and speed. This is determined by the number of calls you expect to be making and other web applications. You also need an IP PBX that is compatible with the SIP protocol required. If you do not have this, you may require a SIP card or license installation.
How do I set up a SIP Trunk and how much does it cost?
Setting up SIP is easy. Costs can vary depending on your specific requirements and usage. Contact us today and we’ll set up everything for you and give you a competitive price.
