Within the company, speaking to an individual on a one-to-one basis can help solve complex problems, boost productivity, and reduce turnaround times as it allows for instant answers to queries. Externally, customers can call up service providers and manufacturers with enquiries and questions regarding products or services that they have purchased and quickly resolve problems.

PRI lines support up to 30 simultaneous connections while SIP Trunk lines allow for up to 1500 connections. SIP Trunk lines additionally offer businesses simultaneous data and video calling capabilities as well. This makes SIP Trunk a great option for large businesses that want to consolidate voice, data and video calling through a single service provider. Hosted services such as Centrex allow for a fully hosted telecommunications service to be present in office premises without any capital expenditure.
