What is SIP Trunking?
TalkAssure™ SIP trunking gives you virtual telephone lines (channels) delivered over a high-speed IP connection, so your call capacity is no longer constrained by physical circuits.
Add the call capacity you need for simultaneous calls, then adjust it as your organisation grows or changes, without installing extra phone-line hardware.
Estimate your SIP trunk requirements
Use a simple rule-of-thumb calculator based on typical industry ratios to see how many concurrent call channels you may need. Adjust the sliders to match how your teams actually work.
How call-heavy is your environment?
Spare capacity for peaks / resilience
SUGGESTED STARTING POINT
18 concurrent call channels
Based on 50 users in an Office / mixed roles environment, including approximately 20% spare capacity for peaks and failover.
Typical office environments often start around 3–4 users per channel. Call-heavy teams and contact centres work better with lower ratios (more channels per user).
- Enough capacity for your busiest hour without constant busy tones.
- Headroom to handle marketing campaigns, seasonal peaks or site outages.

Why SIP trunks replace legacy lines so well
Lower cost than legacy lines
Reduce reliance on line rental and move voice onto IP with competitive call rates and minimal upfront change.
Scale channels when demand changes
Increase or reduce concurrent call capacity without installing additional physical lines.
Converged voice + data
Run voice and data over one connection and allocate bandwidth where it’s needed.
Continuity & rerouting
Automatic call re-routing helps keep customers and teams connected if something goes wrong.
How SIP Trunking works
Replace fixed phone lines with flexible call capacity
SIP trunking replaces traditional phone lines with cloud-based call capacity delivered over your data connection.
Instead of being limited by physical circuits, your existing phone system can support more (or fewer) simultaneous calls as your needs change, without additional line installs.
In practice:
- Choose how many channels you need now
- Add numbers and routing rules that match your setup
- Increase capacity as call volumes grow or sites change
Technical overview (for IT teams)
SIP trunking connects an IP-based phone system (IP PBX or UC platform) to the public telephone network using SIP signalling, with media carried over IP using standard compression methods (codecs). Capacity is provided as virtual channels rather than physical lines.

Using Microsoft Teams for calling?
SIP trunks can provide the PSTN connectivity needed to make and receive external calls in Teams via Direct Routing.
