Companies are always looking for new ways to cut costs, and with VoIP exploding on the communications landscape, SIP trunking providers are competing to offer their wares. In such a scenario, making a choice is easier said than done.

Voip-Info.org understands the dilemma that customers are in, and has sought to rank its choices after reviewing many SIP providers and taking into account several factors.

Vocalocity was rated highly by current and former customers, and Voip-Info.org considered it as the best VoIP provider that provides hosted PBX (News - Alert). That it has won many awards for innovative services and is considered to be the fastest growing VoIP provider for small businesses are other points in its favor. As far as service plans go, Vocalocity (News - Alert) offers many, and also enables customers to mix and match their lines to build the most suitable plan. Its low price and month to month payment plan with no locked in contracts are rather attractive. What is even more impressive is its easy-to use interface and excellent customer service and support.

As one of the nation's largest VoIP providers, Nextiva has been catering to businesses of all sizes since 2006. It offers PBX SIP trunk services, which works with almost any PBX. There are no contracts to sign, the sound quality is excellent and the customer service worth talking about. It’s also easy to use and is considered to be fairly reliable. Customers rated Nextiva just a shade lower than Vocalocity.

RingCentral (News - Alert) is stated to be a sophisticated but easy-to–use Web-based VoIP PBX for small businesses and offers SIP services to the U.S., U.K., and Canada. It offers different pricing levels for businesses depending on the number of users. Like the other two providers, it features no contracts or setup fees. Customer service and support appear to be adequate but it was rated slightly below Nextiva.

“SIP trunk providers can be very helpful for businesses who already own a PBX who are looking to switch to IP phone service to save money and improve the feature-set of their phone system,” explained Logan Abbott, president of Voip-Info.org.

Voip-Info.org. does appear to have done its homework thoroughly and hopefully its reviews will make choosing a SIP trunk provider easier.
