By the end of this article, you will know what SIP Trunking is, who the top three SIP providers are, and how to determine which one is the best fit for your company.
What is SIP Trunking?
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a protocol that allows you to run your phone system over the internet rather than traditional phone lines that rely on copper wires.
Trunking serves as the backbone for phone lines used by many users which connect to a telephone network.
The main objective of SIP Trunking is to connect a PBX to the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) at a competitive price.
By using SIP Trunking, you achieve lower costs because you still utilize your existing PBX phone system, and gives you the scalability of the cloud-based phone system. This makes it easier to add or delete phones.
Top 3 SIP providers
Choosing the right SIP provider for your organization is important in making sure your SIP Trunking service best meets your objectives. This evaluation process, however, can be more challenging than it might appear.
Figuring out who the top SIP providers are will help you narrow your search and ultimately give you the best return on your investment. The top three SIP providers in no particular order are Intelipere, Twilio, and Peerless.

IntelePeer provides communication solutions powered by AI and analytics aimed at improving the communications experience of organizations and their customers.
Intelepeer’s SIP Trunking service allows you to choose a connection option that best fits your environment.
The connection options they offer are over the top which means using your existing service as your SIP connection, a private connection which would be a custom-built connection catering to your organization’s needs, or an MPLS connection.
2. Twilio
Twilio is a provider of cloud-based communication solutions. They help companies engage their customers through video, phone calls, and messaging.
Their SIP Trunking service allows you to record, store, and receive calls in the cloud. Another feature of Twilio’s SIP Trunking service allows you to integrate with third-party applications such as Hubspot and Zoom.
Twilio’s SIP Trunking is unique in the fact that it is a pay-as-you-go service allowing you to only pay for what you use. Their services start around $1 per month per phone with charges based on the number of inbound and outbound calls.
3. Peerless Networks
Peerless Networks is a telecommunications service provider. Their SIP Trunking service has been recognized by ChannelVision Magazine with a 2021 Visionary Spotlight Award.

This SIP Trunking service can help cater to your company’s needs with the portal allowing you to change settings and make changes according to your company’s calling needs.
Which SIP provider is the best fit for your organization?
Now you know the top three SIP providers on the market but you still may be wondering which one is best for your company. All three are great options but not all will fit perfectly with your company.
If you are looking for flexibility when it comes to how your SIP Trunking service is connected, you may want to select IntelePeer. IntelePeer’s SIP Trunking service allows you to connect your service in three different ways.
If you are looking to integrate applications you might use every day such as Hubspot and Zoom with your SIP Trunking, Twilio’s SIP Trunking service may be the right fit for you.
If you are looking for more control over your service or a more personalized SIP Trunking service that caters to your company’s needs, Peerless Networks may be the best provider for your company.
