    Ok, so I've been through many SIP trunk providers on MS's web site (and off) but simply cannot find one that will provide a smaller shop like mine a trunk line without insane minimal call requirements or through the roof pricng.  I'm currently running MS Lync 2010, direct SIP against a local provider in my building but they are having financial trouble and I don't feel comfortable staying with them...additionally they let me with a 3 week service outage 2 months ago (!).  I'm a service provider running Lync to understand it and support a client that runs it who is planning a ISDN/PRI > Direct SIP conversion later this year.

    So...any providers out there that can reasonably and competently support a SIP trunk with 2 concurrent call volume and a single (610 AC) DID???

    Trevor,

    It would help to know where you are in the world? (610 AC?, Pennsylvania.?)

    Generally speaking the certified providers are bigger and hence probably not so excited about a couple of concurrent calls.They are really interested in the pipes as well as providing the SIP trunk.

    Would you consider a non-certified provider?

    If you feel your internet connection is reliable enough, have a look at IntelePeer (who is certified for Lync).  They provide a SIP trunk to Lync over your existing internet connection.

    Contact Boradvox (www.broadvox.com). They will give you what you need free of charge for testing purposes (2 weeks or 1 month).

    Etherspeak is one I have been testing with, they have a free 7 day trial.  I would love to hear some more input from others that have worked with more providers. To give you an idea on pricing here is what I was given:

    $99/Mo. - Includes 5,000 minutes of inbound/outbound usage. Thereafter, usage is billed at $.023/minute. Includes up to 50 simultaneous call paths.

    Drago, thank you! I had some contact with Broadvox years ago but had forgotten about them.
