Phone Trunks

Overview

Phone Trunks provide network access to an organisation through a communications channel. MPT Admins can set up and configure trunks through request to Omni Intelligence (OI). There are two types of trunks: Own SIP Trunks and Cloud Trunks.

Own SIP Trunks

These are SIP trunks you already own and have access to. They may be on-site or off-site, and can be set up instantly.

These are free and do not attract charges from Omni Intelligence (OI).

Cloud-Based Trunks

These are provisioned on AWS servers for you to use, and will be available some time after request to OI.

These do attract charges from OI.
