What is a SIP Trunk
A SIP Trunk is a virtual phone line that connects your existing PBX or phone system to the public telephone network over the internet. 2talk SIP Trunks are used by NZ businesses to replace traditional lines, reduce call costs, and scale capacity without additional hardware.
2talk uses the SIP protocol to deliver calls to your PBX platform. If you do not have a SIP capable IP PBX, a SIP/ISDN Gateway or a VoIP Gateway then you should not use a SIP Trunk to connect to 2talk.
2talk SIP Trunks offer real time provisioning, are easily scalable and can be combined with our cloud PBX features such as Call Recording and Call Queueing.
2talk SIP Trunk Options
SIP Peering
A Peering Trunk enables a trusted network-to-network connection between your SIP PBX and the 2talk Voice Platform. The main advantage of Peering is greater flexibility of number routing within your onsite-PBX. To use Peering you will require a static IP address that is publicly routable.
Register Trunk
A Registered Trunk uses SIP Registration to connect your SIP PBX to the 2talk Voice Platform. Once set up calls to numbers on the account will be sent to the device registered against the trunk pilot number.
BYOC Trunk
BYOC (Bring your own carrier) trunks are supported by some cloud platforms. 2talk currently support Genesys Cloud BYOC trunks as well as Twilio BYOC trunks.
Microsoft Teams Direct Routing Trunk
2talk support MC Teams direct routing trunks which connect Microsoft Teams to the PSTN, allowing Teams users to make and receive standard phone calls directly within Teams — without needing a separate desk phone or PBX. Teams Direct Routing works with E-Series Office 365 licenses and requires no on-premise session border controller (SBC)."
