glennda Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Anybody got any recommendations for SIP trunk providers? Currently looking at setting up an Asterix PBX and using SIP trunks (with PSTN failover). Anybody people have used and would recommend? 1

glennda Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Will contact them - i have already contacted a few people
benjie Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Voicehost might be worth a look at, there is no inbuilt failover but you can set custom destinations via a web interface. UK VoIP Internet Phone Service - Free VoIP Calls, Virtual PBX

Unless i'm being think and missing it (which is highly likely today!)
Willott Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 We use Gradwell (for IAX2 trunks - but they also do SIP). Not had a massive amount of issues. 1

benjie Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Voicehost, they do hosted PBX but you have to pay for it. They do give you SIP trunks, to link to your PBX. 1
glennda Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Have spoken with a few various suppliers Cheers guys!
Geoff Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I use OrbTalk, and I run a call centre SIP Trunks | Orbtalk VoIP 1
glennda Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Will give them a call aswell! Out of interest what PBX do you use?
Geoff Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Two Asterisk based servers. One running FreePBX for day to day office stuff. The other runs the call centre on VICIDial
glennda Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Ah cool - I'm currently building an astrisk box to play with - do you use any wireless Dect handsets? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/90114-wireless-handsets.html
Geoff Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Telesales use Xlite 3 with usb headsets. Offices have Polycom Soundpoint IP550 desk phones.
glennda Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Ok thats cool. I did look at the IP 550 but they are a touch to much for us - we are looking at some Cisco SPA 501G For the department offices and Still undecided on the offices possibly Yealink T28P but not 100% sure.
glennda Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Mine are all second user Hmm didn't think it that - will investigate!
MatthewL Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Just to bump this topic, has anyone found a good SIP provider?
glennda Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Intrinsic technology where very helpful when i spoke with them - although I never fully finished the setup as I left before I finished it!
Millgate Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Just to bump this topic, has anyone found a good SIP provider? I can help you out with this Matt. We partner with Intrinsic technology so if you let me have the details, I'll give you a quote
MatthewL Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks Luke. I was just curious to see if there were any good ones out there.
glennda Posted November 16, 2012 Author Posted November 16, 2012 I can help you out with this Matt. We partner with Intrinsic technology so if you let me have the details, I'll give you a quote I've only just seen this! I got mine through Millgate when i did it! Should have mentioned that! Sorry Luke
CAWJames Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 We use a company called Dalycom, they resell Gamma trunks. We started with 5 lines plus around 20 DDI's plus CLI flexibility, so we can present pretty much any number on the outgoing call. Each DDI was 69p, and the rental on the lines wasn't a lot. In our first production month for one of our satellite centres, running 6 phones, our first bill was a shade over £100, as there was a one time fee for the connection for the endpoint(ie where the incoming calls point to) and the couple of months after that barely push £50 a month including calls. No brainer really, and we are planning to push it out over all 5 centres during this year. For phones we hit a popular auction site, and got some cheap grandstream budgetones for a tenner each for classrooms(think cheap nasty, but good enough for a incidental phone) and £30 each for a load of Cisco 7940G phones with psu's for the desks(we bought 30). As we phase out our ISDN systems, this system will be brought in, and we can get rid of our non geographic 0844 numbers too, as the sip DDI's are portable, where BT DDI's are usually tied to an exchange(we moved 2 centres into one, 2 miles from one, and 15 from the other, all the same std code, but 3 different exchanges, no chance to keep any range of numbers, hence the 0844). Also thinking of tying it into Exchange and Lync, for a truly awesome internal conferencing/communication system. Got to love EES and the enterprise cal pack! Oh and make sure you have the bandwidth and the stability for multiple phones, we have 10/10 leased lines at most of the centres, and 100/100 at the main one, so not really a problem for us. If you have any questions let me know. James
