[cisco-voip] Wait, what? Are SIP trunk prices really that low now?

[James Avalos]

Yeah, I think they call it a “session” in the SIP world.  Each session is the equivalent to a concurrent call.   Supposedly, a session requires a port on the SIP trunk, and each trunk can host X number of ports, depending on the carrier or the bandwidth required per port.  I think the codec may also influence this, as some codecs like G.711 require more bandwidth than the compressed G.729…..

per channel makes more sense than per trunk. then again, in the SIP world, what they call things might be different. they would have to limit the number of calls on that SIP trunk somehow.

My guess is per channel and BYOB. (Bring your own bandwidth). It would be interesting to see if there are any "gotchas"

Is this per channel? Is this over the internet?

Earlier I posted a message about SIP trunks and SBCs.  Acme Packet has
a link to providers using their products, one of which is
bandwidth.com

Bandwidth.com has unlimited (for U.S. and Canada), two-way SIP trunk
for $30/month, 12 month term.

Their per-minute rates to the rest of the world seem cheap - on the
order of $0.01/minute.

Am I missing something, or do I need to reset my expectations of how
much telephony actually costs these days compared to traditional TDM?

Sales Guys:  this is not a solicitation.
