SIP Trunk Providers in the Asia/Pacific region

[TheSmash]

Hi guys,

As the thread title suggests does anyone have any good recommendations for SIP providers in the Asia/Pacific region.

Specifically looking to cover Japan, Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney.

Also, has anyone connected SIP trunks to a provider which has an international number not of the country that the system is installed in? Does anyone have any ideas of the legality of doing this? I am aware of the Emergency Services issue that might arise...

Thanks in advance for any advise/suggestions

Don't ask me, I didn't design it.

We use Maxotel (

http://www.maxo.com.au)

for our SIP trunks here in Australia - Sydney is one of their supported cities. Not sure if they take international customers though.

Works fine with the IP Office - although I've only tested it with the IPO on a public IP (our LAN2 has a public IP albeit behind a packet filter), not behind NAT.

Maxo can provide DIDs in all of your cities, but I'm not sure how competitive the pricing is as I've never had a requirement for DIDs outside the US, UK and Australia so I've never actually looked.

IANAL so can't advise on legalities - just don't send 000 (emergency - our equivalent of 911) down your Sydney trunk

Shaun,

Many thanks for this. We'll try and get in contact with them.
