SIP Trunking SIP Trunking Provider / SIP Trunks / Business Calls Over IP


Our market leading SIP trunking solution lets you reduce your on-going call costs by replacing expensive analogue and digital lines with a data connection for your telephone calls over IP. SIP Trunking is available via broadband or a Leased Line connection.

Why you need it?

SIP trunking is ideal if you:

  • currently use traditional ISDN services at one or more location and are looking to rationalise the number of lines you require
  • are moving offices and want to keep existing numbers but avoid call forwarding charges
  • need a resilient phone service to cope with an emergency at one or more sites
  • want to use local numbers from any region of the UK, giving your business a local presence without opening local offices
  • require telephony services up and running quickly

The benefits of our SIP trunking service

SIP Trunking Save Money Icon

Save money

Intercity’s SIP Trunking service saves you money because IP connectivity costs are inherently lower than ISDN and PSTN lines.

Add to that the free ‘branch to branch’ calls nationally and internationally, lower line rental, low set up costs and the elimination of expensive call-forwarding services you can quickly see how the cost of calling drops dramatically.

  SIP Trunking Disaster Recovery Icon

Continuity and DR

To ensure your business stays up and running in the event of an emergency we provide you with a SIP account on our secure network for your PBX and its associated phone numbers.

In the event of one of your sites being inaccessible, you can use your account to redirect calls almost instantaneously to another PBX at one of your other locations.  Alternatively service can be restored by moving the PBX at the disabled site to another location with an IP connection.

SIP is easy to scale and can have additional channels or DDI’s up and running within 24 hours. Using a simple communication gateway we can make SIP work with your existing telephone system and so avoiding the need for an equipment upgrade.

Frequently asked questions about SIP

Can I use my existing Internet connection?

This depends on your current Internet connection and how many simultaneous calls you want to make. The size of a SIP voice call is roughly 80kb, so if you have an upload of 256kb, you could have 3 simultaneous calls (without any additional data) over one connection.

Can I use SIP with my current PBX system?

Most modern telephone systems support SIP although some settings may need to be changed. If you have an older phone system we can use a special appliance called a gateway to enable your system to start using SIP. Our product specialists will be able to give you advice on compatibility and settings.
