7 REASONS TO SWITCH YOUR BUSINESS PHONE LINES TO SIP

Did you know that BT is set to switch off the ISDN network by the latest 2025? There is now a new and improved alternative to ISDN. SIP is here to help future proof your business and save you a significant amount of money on your existing line rental and call costs.

“WHAT IS SIP?”

SIP trunks (the equivalent of lines) are the long-term replacement for ISDN. They use an ultra-reliable, dedicated voice broadband to carry voice traffic. As well as the ISDN switch off, there are many other benefits of your business switching to SIP.
