What are the advantages of SIP Trunks versus PRI?
SIP Trunks realize their primary benefit over PRIs from cost savings. SIP trunks typically cost $20 to $30 per trunk for unlimited inbound and local calling along with a long distance rate that can be under 2 cents per call. When coupled with line oversubscription (e.g. a 30 person company purchasing just as many SIP trunks as they anticipate having concurrent calls….typically 8 to 10) SIP Trunks are a very cost effective way for a business to save money. Lastly, a primary benefit of SIP Trunks over PRIs is that SIP Trunks can be purchased in increments of 1, whereas PRIs have to be purchased in increments of 23 channels.
