Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking provides dynamic trunking capacity to place and receive pay-as-you-go phone calls through Twilio's network, which spans thousands of carrier partner connections and phone numbers across over 100 countries. To set up Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking, users need a Twilio account, a SIP network element, and specific configuration steps including provisioning the trunk through the Twilio Console, setting up termination and origination URIs, assigning telephone numbers to the trunk, and configuring authentication methods. The configuration process requires careful consideration of firewall settings, phone number formatting, and voice geographic permissions. With proper setup, users can migrate their existing communications infrastructure to Twilio's Elastic SIP Trunking product, layer on other features such as Programmable Voice and SMS, and create solutions that intelligently route calls using dynamically returned Twilio Markup Language (TwiML).
