Your Business will grow faster when you keep coping with the modern world’s changing needs no doubt. Communication is the main pillar of such growth and SIP lines have made it way easier, smarter & better. Replacing your traditional landline with a SIP line will take your communication to a whole new level where you don’t only make voice calls, but also video calls, sending & receiving instant messages and multimedia files. All of this happens through SIP phone lines that operate on the cloud.
What is a SIP Line?
SIP, stands for Session Initiation Protocol, and SIP line is the virtual version of the traditional & old telephone line. It is the link between two individuals calling each other over the internet. One SIP Line can’t transfer more than one call simultaneously. Thus, companies who don’t get much simultaneous calls, they don’t need to ask for many SIP lines. On the other hand, those who get many calls simultaneously will need to ask their provider for many SIP lines that suit their usage and needs.
How Does a SIP Line Work?
First of all, you need to know what is PBX? It is an abbreviation for “Private Branch Exchange” that is the telephone system used by businesses. A SIP line represents one channel that gets connected to the on-premise PBX moving to the SIP trunk that allows you make calls overs the internet. Such calls can be local or international that are all done through the SIP trunk without disruptions or restrictions.
SIP Line vs. SIP Trunk: What is the Difference?
SIP lines and SIP trunk are both connected and work simultaneously. They form two separate parts of the SIP trunking phone system. SIP trunk can be compared to a plate and the food inside it represents SIP lines. So, in contrast with a SIP line that can transfer only one call, SIP trunk can handle too many SIP lines so companies can place as much of online call as they need.
