Hotels have unique telephony requirements. Although many guests now use cell phones, the convenience of accessing hotel services through in-room phones and making internal calls between rooms remains an essential expectation for guest satisfaction.
Many hotels have heavily invested in traditional phone systems and integrated technologies. Most of these outdated systems are TDM-based, leaving hotels with hefty phone bills due to numerous analog lines or T1/PRI circuits, often underutilized.
Switching to modern IP-based phone systems could address these issues by routing calls over the internet, but many hoteliers are hesitant to fully replace their existing analog systems due to the high cost of equipment and handsets.
Additionally, these hotels often have existing integrations that connect in-room phone systems with check-in/check-out billing systems and other services, making upgrades more complex.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking is a modern alternative to traditional telephone lines. It enables communication over an existing high-speed internet connection, eliminating the need for PRI lines. When connected to a compatible PBX system, staff can make calls to any phone number. Each SIP trunk supports multiple SIP channels, with the number of channels determining how many simultaneous calls can be made.
While SIP and VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) are often used interchangeably, they are distinct. SIP is the technology that facilitates VoIP calls, but SIP channels can also manage more than just voice traffic.
There are several compelling reasons why SIP trunking has become a popular choice for those in the guest accommodation industry.
Switching to SIP trunking requires a small upfront cost, mainly for a gateway box (ranging from a few hundred to $1,000). While each call consumes 32-85 KB per second, some may need to upgrade their internet bandwidth. However, the savings—typically 40-50% on monthly telecom bills—far outweigh the initial investment.
Unlike legacy systems that charge for each phone line, SIP trunking charges only for the number of simultaneous calls. This is ideal for businesses like hotels with more phones than staff.
SIP calling generally includes local and long-distance calls within the 48 contiguous U.S. states, along with competitive international rates. This reduces both business call costs and customer expenses.

As many car dealerships transition to SIP trunking, they’re also moving away from traditional physical PBX systems in favor of hosted phone solutions. These cloud-based systems shift the management burden to the service provider, allowing your IT team to focus on more strategic tasks.
However, for dealerships that prefer to maintain control of an on-site PBX system, there are numerous affordable—and even free—open-source options available. JD Telecom supports all of these configurations.
If your existing phone system isn’t internet-ready (also known as IP-enabled), we may still be able to assist. By using a cost-effective device called an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter), we can connect your legacy equipment to modern SIP trunking services.
