SIP addresses are not common, but they can be quite useful if you know how to use it. I currently have 1 SIP Provider, and an alias UID as well. SIP uses the internet to make an receive calls (just like VOIP). Many SIP providers will allow you to get a local telephone number, and if you feel that will be important to you, then you do you. A SIP address is made by doing the following code – sip:UID@provider.tld.
For some reason, not all SIP applications handles SIP addressing well. This is where SIP Broker comes in. You may have to dial a SIP Broker Access code with your SIP Provider, but once you done that, you would be able to use the second or third option. If you are using Callcentric, this will be **275 followed by the SIP Broker number. Below are my options in how you can reach me via SIP:
- sip:17772603465@callcentric.com
- *011 18556829751 (SIP Broker)
If your SIP provider supports SIP Broker dialing, you may need to reach out to them to find out how to access SIP Broker. You can learn more about SIP Broker by going to http://sipbroker.com.
