SIP Trunking connects your existing private branch exchange (PBX) to the national public switched telephone network (PSTN) using an IP connection. This provides a more flexible and low cost replacement to ISDN connections into the PBX. Alternatively, if you are looking to refresh your telephone system, see our Hosted Voice services.
