Trunks

Trunks allow you to connect a either on-premises or alternate cloud-based PBX to a customer account

Trunks act like other Endpoints on the Customer account (such as Extensions) with a few key differences:

• They are charged per allocated Trunk Channel 
• They can have more simultaneous calls, again as per Trunk Channel
• Outbound calls over a Trunk can present a variety of numbers*

*NOTE: You may only present numbers from a customer account that have been added to it. If you wish to add additional presented numbers, please email the support team (support@sipcentric.com) with proof of ownership of the number - usually a phone bill.
