Due to these services being outdated, and not to mention the hefty running and maintenance costs, this decision was made by BT in 2018, meaning the future of BT’s voice infrastructure will be via the internet, using SIP and VoIP channels

So, what are SIP and VoIP?

In layman’s terms, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) use an internet connection for voice, allowing users to make and receive phone calls using computer or mobile devices (in addition to VoIP enabled telephones)

VoIP is just as it says (Voice over Internet Protocol) – voice calls over the internet

SIP on the other hand, is not just limited to voice calls, and can be used for video conferencing, instant messaging, and other unified communications applications

Businesses need to establish which of these provides the greatest benefit for their communications requirements
