Understanding call channels and terminology

Telecom terms can sound more complicated than they really are. Here is a friendly rundown of what call channels, SIP lines and concurrent calls actually mean in day-to-day use.

1

Call channels

A call channel is simply one active phone call. If you have 5 channels, your organisation can have 5 calls happening at the same time – inbound or outbound.

Think of channels like lanes on a motorway: more lanes means more calls can travel at once, without queues or busy tones.

2

SIP lines and trunks

A SIP trunk is the digital version of a phone line. Instead of a copper line, calls travel securely over your internet connection.

One SIP trunk can carry multiple channels. Example: a SIP trunk with 10 channels lets 10 people make or receive calls at the same time.

3

Concurrent calls

“Concurrent calls” is just another way of saying how many calls can be live at once on your system.

Even with 100 staff, you might only need 8–12 concurrent calls depending on how many people regularly use the phone and when your busy periods are.

How numbers, routing and channels work together

Your phone numbers sit on top of your channels. Behind the scenes, we control how those numbers behave and where calls land.

Calls can be routed to:

  • Hunt groups such as sales, support or reception
  • IVR menus (for example, “Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support”)
  • Call queues, wallboards and reporting dashboards
  • Desk phones, softphones, Teams or mobile apps

All of this uses the same pool of channels, so the design is about making sure you have enough “lanes” for the call traffic you expect.

Choosing the right number of channels

You don’t need to arrive with the perfect number – that is what we help you work out.

We look at:

  • How many people regularly make or receive calls
  • Peak times during the day or week
  • Whether you run a service desk or contact centre
  • Future growth, new sites or seasonal peaks

The aim is simple: no busy tones, no overspending and no dropped calls. We can also adjust the number of channels as your organisation changes.

Yes. We plan number porting as part of the project so callers experience minimal disruption while you move to the new platform.

Do you work directly with our IT team?
