SIP Trunks and VoIP Lines

We offer a simple Pay as You Go SIP Trunk (with optional add-on subscriptions to save even more). Trunks can either be based on username/password based (for a single desk/softphone) or IP Authentication (i.e. for a PBX etc). We can also support PBXs as a username/password option, but recommend you using IP Authentication if you can.

Discount on Volumes

Historically, VoIP Yonder has spent too much time customising rates for forecast volumes that were not fulfilled by customers. Therefore we have changed our approach.

VoIP Yonder offers a scheme for customers to top-up £250 GBP or more and spend this within a calendar month, then 10% extra credit is provided at each subsequent top-up when this condition has been met.

This must be requested at each top-up for us to clarify you've met the conditions and for us to apply the extra credit.

If a customers spend is substantially more than this, then custom destination rates maybe applied.


Prohibited Calls

Aloha/VoIP Yonder operates purely in the premium, high quality end of the market and will avoid any clients that degrade our network for our other clients. We pride ourselves in providing a high quality service/network . Also we have regulatory commitments to adhere to. If your traffic meets one of the following conditions below we will be unable to assist you:

  • Automated/Predictive Diallers
  • Low ASR/ACD (i.e. a minimum of 50%/50 seconds respectively is required) - including data cleansing and short call durations
  • Marketing Calls
  • AIT Calls (Artificially Inflated Traffic)
  • Nuisance Calls
  • Spam, Spoofing or anything else which can cause harm or be deemed illegal or not making good use of a communications network

Support

Support for trunking is limited. We will provide destination support in the rare case there are quality issues. However we expect all customers to be able to have the technical understanding and know how to handle their setup with their trunk. We offer a comprehensive knowledge base to getting started.


Fraud

It is the clients responsibility to make sure their SIP details are safe. If you feel SIP details have been compromised or do not recognise calls in your account, you must inform us immediately. You can reset your SIP password online. We recommend customers use a firewall and IP Authentication only connections. To help reduce fraud and loss, all new accounts are setup with a max call rate and daily call spend which can be viewed in your control panel. These can be changed or remove on request by opening a support ticket. In addition, SIP and VoIP Connections can be restricted to UK calls only (default) or include international calls.

Important: Make sure you secure your equipment and keep it upto date. VoIP hackers exist and attempt to make calls to expensive numbers leaving businesses to pay the bill. Google Toll Fraud for more information or seek professional advice to make sure you keep yourself secure. Our services do contain tools that allow you to limit the maximum call spend per minute and the max spend per day.

Security

To increase security, we recommend you connect your equipment using TLS transport and SRTP encryption to encrypt both the signalling and media between us and you. When selecting SRTP, it will only work if the transport TLS is also enabled.
