SIP Trunking for Colombia Call Centers

The nearshore advantage with US SIP trunking. Get US local and toll-free numbers for your Colombia BPO with the lowest latency of any offshore market -- just 40-80ms round-trip through our Miami and Dallas PoPs.

Built for Colombia Nearshore Operations

Everything your Colombia-based call center needs to deliver US-quality voice service.

US DIDs & Toll-Free for LATAM BPOs

Local numbers in every US area code plus toll-free 800/888/877 numbers. Your Colombian agents present a US presence to callers with full STIR/SHAKEN attestation.

Nearshore Low Latency

40-80ms round-trip latency -- the lowest of any offshore BPO market. Direct network paths through our Miami and Dallas PoPs deliver near-domestic call quality.

G.711 Codec Recommended

Colombia's proximity to the US means bandwidth is sufficient for G.711 (ulaw) at 64 kbps per call -- full uncompressed audio quality indistinguishable from domestic US calls.

Time Zone Alignment

Colombia is UTC-5, the same as US Eastern Standard Time. Your agents work the same business hours as US East Coast clients -- no overnight shifts required.

SIP Registration & IP Authentication

Connect via SIP registration (username/password) or IP authentication (static IP whitelist). Both methods supported simultaneously for maximum flexibility.

Bilingual Operations Support

Full support for English and Spanish bilingual operations. Configure multi-language IVR systems and call routing to serve the growing US Hispanic market.

Colombia SIP Trunking FAQ

Colombia is ideal for nearshore call centers due to its time zone alignment with the US East Coast (UTC-5, same as EST), a rapidly growing bilingual workforce fluent in English and Spanish, cultural proximity to the US, and the lowest SIP latency of any offshore BPO market at just 40-80ms round-trip. Major BPO hubs in Bogota, Medellin, Barranquilla, and Cali offer a deep talent pool at competitive costs.

SIP call latency from Colombia to the US is typically 40-80ms round-trip, the lowest of any offshore BPO market. This is possible because of Colombia's geographic proximity and direct network paths through IPComms' Miami and Dallas Points of Presence. This ultra-low latency allows the use of G.711 (ulaw) codec for full-quality audio, making calls indistinguishable from domestic US calls.
