In a study on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunking, VoIP research and reviews firm Software Advice ran a survey on the factors behind selecting a SIP provider. SIP trunking is comparable to a phone line that people use to connect local and long-distance calls over a business Internet connection.

The survey was comprised of 30 questions and over 200 responses were received from seasoned IT managers who had implemented SIP trunking within their organization. According to the survey results, the biggest factors when choosing a SIP provider were security, support quality, and pricing.
