The situation isn’t helped when the engineers, carriers, and VoIP providers pass the blame instead of working closer together. For example, the SIP School survey reveals that customers blamed providers for 33% of the issues while providers admit responsibility only 9% of the time, instead blaming PBX vendors for over 50% and SBC device vendors for another 36%.

Typically 3 or 4 companies are involved in just setting up a company’s VoIP; the PBX/UC vendor, SBC vendor, SIP trunk provider and a value-added reseller. Each call depends on services provided by other carriers, network operators, and device manufacturers. Finally, the receiver of a call has their own PBX, SBC and SIP vendor.

It isn’t enough for vendors and service providers to have knowledge of their own product. They also need detailed knowledge of the products provided by every other vendor and service provider with whom they will interoperate. If a customer raises a support ticket and the service provider just blames the device vendor, where does the customer turn?

Enterprises are emerging that offer specialised integration services, interoperability pre-testing and bespoke solutions development. Pre-modelling deployments makes sense for large corporations, but small businesses are lucky if they even get a manual.

Once SIP trunking and VoIP are the norm as everyone takes advantage of wholesale VoIP termination rates, we can expect to see more compatibility and fewer problems. In the meantime, the best advice for customers is to choose a mature provider such as IDT on the basis of their customer service reviews.
