SIP Trunks for
Automobile Dealers
The ability to effectively communicate with customers is mission-critical for automotive dealerships. One dropped or missed call can mean thousands of dollars in lost profit. That’s why so many dealers are moving away from old-fashioned physical phone lines and toward cloud-based unified communications with SIP trunking.
According to a report by MarketstandMarkets, estimates that the global SIP trunking services market will exceed $12 billion by 2023. That’s not a trend, it’s a fundamental shift in the way businesses communicate with their customers.
For car dealerships, the constant tension between the need to provide top notch customer service and the pressure to keep costs down makes SIP trunking a smart choice.
What is SIP Trunking
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking is an alternative to traditional physical telephone lines. It allows for communications capabilities using the existing high-speed internet connection without the need for PRI lines. With a SIP trunk connected to a compatible PBX system, dealership staff can make calls to any phone number. Each SIP trunk supports a number of SIP channels. The number of channels determines how many calls can be active at one time.
The terms SIP and VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. SIP is the technology that makes a VoIP call possible, but SIP channels can handle more than just voice traffic.

I don’t have any experience with SIP trunking, but connecting my Asterisk PBX to SIP.US was fast and easy.
Eddy Pareja, Sangfroid Web Design
The SIP.US Control Panel gives me all the tools I need to add, change and delete phone numbers. I can even order all the DIDs I need and set them up instantly. I love having access to these self-service tools, but I know the support team is also there if I need additional help.
Colin Cook, Thimble River
I wasn’t sure how to configure my Asterisk system to work with SIP.US. The SIP team was able to remotely access my system and set it up for me. I didn’t expect that level of support for such a low price.
