Expanding SIP Link for Google Voice to new countries
What’s changing
In October 2022, we announced the ability for Google Voice Standard and Premier customers to connect a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk with Voice. SIP Link allows phone numbers (PSTN services) from local carriers to be used for Google Voice through a secure set of certified Session Border Controllers (SBCs), such as Audiocodes, Cisco, Oracle, and Ribbon. For more information, check out our original launch announcement.
Beginning today, we’re launching Voice to the following countries by expanding SIP Link availability:
APAC
- Australia
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- Israel
- Malaysia
- New Zealand
- Philippines
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- Finland
- Norway
- Romania
- South Africa
- Peru
Getting started
- Admins: Once you’ve configured your SIP trunks and uploaded new phone numbers, you can assign them to your users, desk phones, auto-attendants, and ring groups. Visit the Help Center to learn more about SIP Link requirements.
- End users: There is no end user action required.
Rollout pace
