Hello, I am moving my small business to a new office across the street. That is always a time to reassess the (USA-based) internet provider. That has been CenturyLink, with 3 individually paid SIP trunks and my assigned office phone number (which of course I must keep).
While CenturyLink (now Lumen) is officially supported for 3CX, the rep ominously mentioned that voice products would only be supported for existing customers in the future, so that I thought about indulging a slight intrigue about changing to Starlink. I see a few threads with potentially similar setups to mine. I currently have V20 and a Yealink T-43U SBC firmware installed phone. There are about 4 other Yealink phones that are all connected by office ethernet wiring, not Wifi.
However, what are the nuts and bolts of making this switch? Once I have Starlink internet running at the new physical location, how do I ensure the phone number is kept? Obviously, this is very important for my business. The existing arrangement of paying for individual SIP trunks always seemed old-fashioned. I believe each of the SIP trunks technically had some phone number attached, which we don't use (and never populated in 3CX). So when I change to Starlink internet plus my SBC Yealink phone, what happens to the functionality that CenturyLink was providing through their SIP trunks? Or do I need one more piece that I'm missing? All help is appreciated. Thanks.
