VoIP service in Australia
-
I am working on an opportunity and need to know what services have a presence down under.
Or if there are any common issues with VoIP services in the country.
-
Vultr has an offering for servers there, so that is a possibility. But I like to have more options.
Also, I will need a SIP trunk with a decent response time to wherever the server ends up.
-
Whoosh.. Yeah.. Just spun up a test Fedora VM to run pings.
This is pinging from Australia Vultr server to a FreePBX in the Chicago datacenter on Vultr.

I've never used sipcity but I've heard good things quite a while back on another forum.

Huh, looks like VoIP.ms has a pop there. I never knew.

Where did you find that POP locator on their site?

@jaredbusch I get better pings than that from Manila to our PBX in NY!

Change a DID or order a new one to see that. I knew about the international tab, just don’t remember ever seeing Australia. But then, I wasn’t looking for it either.

I can buy numbers for places from many providers.
Do they have a POP there though?

I'm in Australia and has been down this road before. What sort of services you are after and how big do you want.
Do you want trunks or hosted pbx offering.
Some to look at:
- https://www.telecube.com.au they do hosted and trunk. A small but very resposive provider. They have a great control panel to do everything. Pre-paid only.
- http://www.comvergence.com.au/ they are more of a wholesaler and big busines. They do both trunk & hosted pbx.
- https://faktortel.com.au/ they do the whole lot from wholesale to retail
All the above I have personally used for trunking without issues servicing multiple centralised pbx across 20+ sites.
Some others people recommend
- https://www.maxo.com.au/ more targeted at hosted SMB
- https://www.mynetfone.com.au/ they are one of the biggest VOIP provider in Aus that do both wholesale & retail. They retail offering is not very user friendly (very restricted). If you are someone who don't want to deal with it then it may be for you.
- https://didlogic.com/ sells trunks all over the world
For reference checks try VOIP forum of Whirlpool https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/107 its one of if not the largest tech forum in Australia!
Any other question fire away.
