What is a Hybrid SIP Trunk?

First of its kind - the Swiss Army Knife of SIP trunks. Hybrid has thrown out the rule book: one trunk that works both ways, with the office features standard SIP leaves behind.

Mode 1

Use with your own PBX

Point Hybrid at your on-site or hosted PBX and keep your existing setup. Hybrid adds trunk-layer capabilities beyond your PBX - call recording, AI transcription and Call Insights, real-time stats, staff logins and more.

Mode 2

Run as a Cloud PBX

No PBX? Use Hybrid as a fully functional cloud phone system - hold, transfer, parks, queues, softphones and desk phones, without a separate platform.

Built-in capabilities

    See trunk and call activity as it happens, not hours later in a CSV.

  • Live calls

    Monitor active calls across your Hybrid trunks from one view.

    Park a call and pick it up from another extension - real office flow.

  • Staff logins

    Give each Hybrid SIP trunk its own staff logins so your team can access office features securely.

    Record calls on the trunk for quality, training and compliance - available when you need it.

  • Webphone (WebRTC)

    Make and take calls in the browser with a WebRTC webphone - no desk phone required.

Business SIP Trunking plans

Choose per-trunk or account-wide billing. Hybrid SIP trunks add a separate Hybrid charge on top of your plan - shown clearly on every card below.

View full pricing

All Business SIP Trunking plans are pre-paid. Customers can upgrade and downgrade from the self-service portal. All pricing includes GST. Regardless of plan, Hybrid SIP trunks attract a $5 per month fee each. Calls are billed in one-second blocks. No call connection fees. Compatible with most ATAs, VoIP gateways, IP phones, softphones and virtual PBXs. Crackers Plan and Crazy 5 Plan cannot be used for call centre, telemarketing or outbound sales use.

How billing works

Every Hybrid SIP trunk attracts a $5.00 monthly Hybrid fee, no matter which SIP Trunk plan you use. Call minutes and other plan charges still follow your assigned SIP Trunk plan rate card.

Scenario What you pay
1 Hybrid trunk (any plan) $5.00 Hybrid + plan rates
3 Hybrid trunks $15.00 Hybrid + plan rates
Unhinged + Hybrid trunk $25.00/month ($20 Unhinged + $5 Hybrid)
Standard SIP trunk (compare) 50¢ connection + plan rates
Delete Hybrid trunk mid-cycle No refund - no pro-rata credit

Plan rates are separate. Review capacity and call rates on Manage Plans.

Recording & AI

Call recording itself is free. Storage starts when a recorded call is saved. AI features are optional and only bill when enabled and used. Recording storage remains $1.00 per GB per month and is billed separately from AI.

  • Storage charged pro-rata by day while files remain
  • Retention: keep forever, or auto-delete after N days
  • Transcription bills per minute of audio transcribed
  • Call Insights bill input + output tokens for enabled features
  • Turning a feature off stops new usage; existing files stay until deleted

Tip: Check storage and AI estimates anytime in Recording Management and AI & Transcription.

Quick answers about Hybrid fees, recording storage and AI billing.

Is the $5 fee the same on every plan?

Yes. Every Hybrid SIP trunk is $5.00 per month, whether you are on Basic, Business, Unhinged, or another SIP Trunk plan. Plan call rates still apply on top.

Creating a Hybrid trunk while on Unhinged adds $25.00/month for that channel: $20.00 Unhinged plus $5.00 Hybrid. Each component can have a separate charge and renewal date.

Do I pay to record calls?

No per-minute recording fee. You pay $1.00 per GB per month for stored audio, billed pro-rata. Enabling or disabling recording has no fee.

When does AI billing start?

Only after you enable a feature and it runs successfully. Transcription bills per transcribed minute; Call Insights bill tokens for enabled features. Call Recording must be on.

Future Hybrid billing stops. There is no pro-rata credit for the remainder of the current billing period.
