The cover-up that ensued rocked the political landscape, resulting in multiple convictions along with the first and only resignation of a U.S. president to date.

A SIP Trunk provides connectivity between a premise based phone system and the publically switched telephone network (PSTN). In other words, SIP Trunk Lines are basically the same concept as a telephone line coming in from the phone company or channels on a T1 circuit with the one slight difference that the line comes in via the internet. Today, when it comes to business VoIP solutions, SIP Trunks are the smart choice. Following are the top four reasons why organizations choose SIP Trunks to power their business phone equipment.

I live in southern California. Our friend Mark lives in the Bay Area. He tours vineyards in Napa Valley, Europe and New Zealand. I know this because he loves to digitally share his adventures with his friends: photos of his journeys, bottles he’s tasted and the sheer beauty of wherever he happens to be. The locations are wonderful. The photos and videos are breathtaking.

My best friend is on Sprint. My brother’s got Verizon. I don’t even know what carrier service my mom uses. In-network free calling isn’t anything new but if your peeps are anything like mine, there is no “in-network.” Believe me, I’ve begged to get them to switch to AT&T, pleading the free in-network calls case, but the general response is, “Why should I be the one to switch?” Admittedly, changing carriers is a pretty big hassle.
