IPComms SIP trunks are genuinely free. $0 per channel, no contracts, no setup fees. You only pay for phone numbers starting at $1.50/mo and per-minute usage. Not a trial. Not a gimmick. This is how we have done business since 2002.
No gimmicks. The SIP trunk itself costs nothing. Here is exactly what you pay for and what you do not.
A small business making 1,000 minutes of outbound calls per month with one local DID pays approximately $11.50/mo total. No trunk fees on top of that.
When you search for a free SIP trunk, you will find three types of offers. Only one of them works for production traffic.
Shared servers, 300–500 minute monthly caps, no encryption, no SLA, community-only support. Fine for a home lab, unusable for a business. Uptime can dip below 95%, meaning over 36 hours of downtime per month.
Providers like Twilio or Flowroute offer 30–90 day credit-based trials. Useful for evaluating their platform, but the "free" disappears the moment the trial ends. Full pricing kicks in with per-channel fees, monthly minimums, and often long-term contracts.
IPComms does not charge trunk or channel fees. Period. You pay only for phone numbers and per-minute usage. This is not a trial or a loss leader — it is our business model, and it has been since 2002. You get the same geo-redundant infrastructure, TLS/SRTP encryption, E911 support, and real human support that enterprise customers use in production.

Compare that to a typical provider charging $20/channel/mo — a 10-channel trunk alone costs $200/mo before a single call is made. See full pricing details →

Signaling and media encryption on every call. No add-on fees, no premium tier required. Your calls are private.
Geo-redundant infrastructure across multiple data centers. Less than 4.3 minutes of downtime per month — backed by our service level agreement.
Full E911 support with automatic location routing. Stay compliant and keep your team safe. Not available on community free trunks.

Port your existing numbers from any carrier at no cost. Keep your business numbers and switch to free trunking.
Standard SIP protocol. Compatible with Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, FreeSWITCH, Teams, and more.
IPComms free SIP trunks work for testing and production alike. Here is who uses them.
Need to test SIP trunk integration with Asterisk, FreePBX, or your own application? Sign up, grab a DID for $1.50, and start testing in minutes. No credit card required for account creation, no trial clock ticking.
Traditional providers charge $15–25 per channel per month before you make a single call. A small business with 5 channels paying $20 each spends $100/mo on trunk fees alone. With IPComms, that $100 goes toward actual calls instead.
No channel limits means you scale without penalty. Call centers running 50+ concurrent calls save thousands per month by eliminating per-channel fees. Add E911, encryption, and failover at no extra cost.
Managed service providers use IPComms to offer SIP trunking to clients without the overhead of per-channel licensing. Simple per-minute billing makes cost allocation straightforward across multiple customers.

Yes. The SIP trunk itself costs $0. There are no channel fees, no setup fees, and no contracts. You only pay for phone numbers (starting at $1.50/mo for a local DID) and per-minute usage ($0.010/min outbound, $0.009/min inbound).
Most "free" offers are either community trunks with severe limits (300–500 min/mo, no encryption, no support) or temporary trials that convert to expensive per-channel pricing. IPComms is a commercial provider that permanently does not charge trunk fees. You get enterprise-grade infrastructure, TLS/SRTP, E911, and real support from day one.
No. You can create your account without a credit card. Add funds when you are ready to provision a phone number and start making calls.
Unlimited. IPComms does not charge per-channel fees or impose artificial channel limits. Use as many simultaneous calls as your PBX infrastructure supports.
Yes. IPComms uses standard SIP protocol and works with any SIP-compatible system including Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, FreeSWITCH, FusionPBX, Yeastar, Cisco CUBE, Microsoft Teams, and more. We provide platform-specific setup guides.
With IPComms, yes. Unlike community or hobby-grade free trunks, IPComms supports TLS for signaling encryption and SRTP for media encryption. The platform includes fraud monitoring, IP-based authentication, and runs on geo-redundant infrastructure across multiple data centers.
Yes. IPComms supports number porting for local DIDs and toll-free numbers from any carrier. Porting is free — you only pay the standard monthly DID fee once the port completes.
It depends entirely on usage. A small business making 1,000 minutes of outbound calls per month with one local DID pays approximately $11.50/mo total: $1.50 for the phone number plus $10.00 for usage. There are no trunk fees, channel fees, or minimum commitments on top of that.
No channel fees. No contracts. No setup costs. Just reliable, enterprise-grade SIP trunking — pay only for what you use.
