[asterisk-users] Replace full PRI with SIP/IAX trunks...YES/NO?

Don't do it.  If the cost is negligible, you are going to give up a huge control / reliability factor.   Unless you dedicated a T1 to just voice, you'll not be able to guarantee quality.   
 
I've had a few small companies use VOIP trunks with POTS backup, but I wouldn't even consider switching a PRI to SIP.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Replace full PRI with SIP/IAX trunks...YES/NO?



I've been considering replacing a PRI with SIP or IAX trunks.  The
monthly cost difference is marginal, but it would save a bit on the
hardware side and soft trunks would be easier to manage. I can't help
but wonder what I would be giving up?  I'd like to hear some "lessons
learned" from those who are doing it or decided, for whatever reason,
it's a bad idea.
