Have anyone experience with SIP integration? I have this documentation in my hand but I’m not a programmer so it is difficult to me to understand how to implement this process in reality. How can I do it?

Hi there! šŸ‘‹ I understand that the SIP integration documentation can be challenging if you're not a programmer. Don't worry - I can help break this down for you! While I can't speak to anyone's specific experience with Vapi SIP integration, I can definitely help explain how to implement this process without programming knowledge. ## What is SIP Integration? SIP integration allows you to connect your phone system to the internet, enabling you to make and receive calls using the internet instead of traditional phone lines. Think of it as connecting your old-fashioned telephone to the internet so you can use new features and services. ## Basic Components You'll Need: - SIP Trunk: This is like a virtual phone line that connects your phone system to the internet - SIP URI: This is like an email address for your phone (looks something like
sip:username@domain.com
) ## General Steps for Implementation: 1. Acquire a Local Number: Get a phone number from a provider that supports SIP trunking 2. Configure SIP Trunk: Set up your SIP trunk with the provider 3. Set Up PBX or VoIP System: This manages your phone calls 4. Integrate with VAPI: Connect your SIP trunk to VAPI 5. Test Your Setup: Make test calls to ensure everything works ## Simplified Approach: You can use any SIP softphone (like [Zoiper](https://www.zoiper.com/) or [Linphone](https://www.linphone.org/)) to test the Assistant by simply dialing
sip:username@sip.vapi.ai
- no authentication or SIP registration required! For a more detailed step-by-step guide, check out the [Telnyx SIP Integration Guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/advanced/sip/telnyx) which provides visual instructions for setting up SIP integration through their interface. There's also a helpful video tutorial on connecting 3CX with Vapi via Twilio at [this YouTube link](

). Is there a specific part of the SIP integration process you're finding most challenging that I can help clarify further?
