When this is the right answer
If you have a PBX that works and staff who know it, replacing the whole system is a solution to a problem you may not have. SIP trunking swaps out the expensive part — the analog or PRI lines from your incumbent carrier — and leaves your system in place.
The savings are usually significant, because you stop paying per-line pricing for capacity you use unevenly.
What changes and what doesn't
Your phones, your extensions, your call flow, and your numbers stay the same. What changes is how calls reach the outside world, and what you pay for it. Concurrent call capacity becomes something we scale up or down as your business changes, rather than a hardware order with a lead time.
Call authentication is part of it
NETLinc supports STIR/SHAKEN authentication for eligible outbound calls. That matters for businesses making a volume of outbound calls because caller authentication is one factor carriers use when evaluating call identity and trust. Learn about our approach.
