Frequently asked questions
What is a SIP trunk line?
A SIP trunk line is a group of virtual phone lines combined into a single digital connection, known as a trunk. It connects an on-site PBX to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) over the internet, replacing traditional copper phone lines and enabling cost-effective, scalable communication.
How many SIP trunks do I need?
Most businesses only need one SIP trunk per location or team. However, the number of sessions (simultaneous calls) required depends on your call volume. For example, if you have 20 sessions within a single SIP trunk, only 20 calls can occur at once—any additional callers will receive a busy signal. Need help determining the right setup?

Do I need to replace my existing PBX to use SIP trunking?
No, SIP trunking allows you to keep your current PBX and use the internet for calls. This lets businesses modernize their systems without investing in new hardware.
How reliable is SIP trunking?
SIP trunking is highly reliable when paired with redundancy features like automatic failover, which reroutes calls to backup systems in case of an outage. UnitedCloud’s network is built for maximum uptime and call quality.
