<div>I know I'm not the big boy in town....... but I would have thought with a couple PRI's the price would have be at least equal.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>lets say a PRI B channel cost $15 dollars, I would think a SIP channel would be $14 not $20. (numbers are bogus.... but you get the point) I'm just dividing PRI by 23 and SIP by 30(as stated by SIP provider). And as for the big boys pricing better..... that still doesn't add up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then you also have the extra cost of a SBC ($$$)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Guess I should wait a year and see what happens.<br></div>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">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.</span></p>

<div>
<p>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. </p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>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?</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>Thanks for the insight</p></div>
