[cisco-voip] SIP Trunks to provider

[Matt Slaga (US)]

I'm not sure if you mean using G711 with headers equals 34% more per
channel or channel costs directly.  We have worked with several
different SIP trunk providers, and some will not even charge for the SIP
trunks themselves, only for long distance costs.  Some of the providers
can provide G729, but most SIP providers hope you have more than a T1 or
two for internet connectivity.  Most customers we have provided for have
MAN or OC connections to the internet or direct connections through Time
Warner or similar.  Overall, they are much less expensive than typical
T1/E1s, but they require more internet bandwidth costs.  The comparison
costs really make sense for larger customers more so than smaller ones.

I'm just getting my feet wet with SIP Trunks.  I hear lots of talk about
SBC and setting up SIP Trunks to your providers.  

 

my question is, are others seeing that it's ~ 34% more per channel for
SIP then a conventional PRI?  If so, why are people in such a hurry to
go to a SIP Trunk and spend the money on a SBC?

 

Thanks for the insight

 

Scott
