How speech becomes IP packets, what SIP and RTP each do, why businesses move off copper lines, and what call quality still depends on after the switch.
SIP, codecs, trunks, DIDs, and bandwidth explained without the vendor marketing.
How speech becomes IP packets, what SIP and RTP each do, why businesses move off copper lines, and what call quality still depends on after the switch.
Setting up Linphone for SIP termination on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android and iOS — manual SIP account entry, codec and transport selection, ICE and STUN, and TLS/SRTP encryption.
Configuring MicroSIP for SIP termination on Windows — account fields, codec selection, audio device routing, dial plan rules, and the portable install most call centres actually want.
A phone can register and ring perfectly while the call has no audio. The NAT problem, what STUN, TURN and ICE fix, and a disciplined debugging order.

How carriers decide to label a call Spam Likely, what STIR/SHAKEN attestation does, how to buy and rotate DIDs, and how to recover a number already flagged.
How much internet a call center needs, why jitter and packet loss matter more than speed, and a diagnostic table for every common audio fault.
How VoIP calls actually work, in plain English: SIP signalling versus RTP media, choosing codecs, what a trunk really is, DIDs, CLI, NAT, and per-minute billing.
