Questions & Answers

How do I change my X Series SIP Trunk configuration?

Your initial X Series SIP Trunk configuration will be set up by 8x8 Professional Services. Should you need to edit any of the following in the future, submit a case to 8x8 Technical Support who can make the necessary changes:
  • Edit X Series SIP Trunk configurations (such as IP address)
  • Modify the E911 emergency address
  • Assign an Admin Console claimed number to an X Series SIP trunk
  • Remove numbers from the X Series SIP Trunk and return them to Admin Console

Do I need to do anything before an upgrade from Account Manager to X Series?

No changes need to be made as the upgrade will be a seamless process. Your 8x8 services will function and be available as normal.

How do I review my usage?

All SIP Trunk CDRs will appear in your monthly bill together with their costs like other X Series services.

When do usage minutes begin?

Usage minutes begin at the moment the call is answered.  This answer from a technical perspective is a SIP 200 OK.  A simple SIP call flow that determins a 200 OK is shown in the diagram below:

To summarize the above scenario:
  • Usage billing starts when the call is answered (200 OK).
  • 8x8 rounds to the highest minute.  If a call is a length of 1 second, a standard rounding to 1 minute will be billed.
  • Noting: Billing usage begins when the called number answers, this may be any application or person that answers and a 200 OK is sent.

How do I claim a new number in Admin Console for my SIP Trunk?

  • See Claim Phone Numbers in 8x8 Admin Console.
  • After the number has been claimed in Admin Console, create a case with 8x8 Technical Support who can then assign it to your X Series SIP Trunk.
  • Should you later wish to use an X Series SIP Trunk number for another X Series service, simply contact 8x8 Technical Support who can then return your number to the Admin Console - Phone numbers list as an Available number.
