SIP Trunking Configuration Guides
The following Configuration Guides are intended to help you connect your SIP Infrastructure (IP-PBX, SBC, etc) to a Twilio Elastic SIP Trunk.
Be aware, due to the large number of versions, variations, add-ons, and options for many of these systems, the settings you see may differ from those shown in our Configuration Guides. As such, these documents are intended as general guidelines, rather than configuration templates. There is an assumption of familiarity with your network and SIP infrastructure, and how they work.
Twilio cannot provide direct support for third-party products; you should contact the manufacturer for your PBX/SBC for assistance in configuring such products.
If you wish to share your PBX or SBC configuration guide to help us improve this section for other users, kindly submit them or any corrections to the existing guides to sip.interconnectionguides@twilio.com.

Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC)
Acme Packet SBC
Assuming you have your SBC already set up with your IP-PBX, with one or more telephones configured and running calls between them, the following highlights specific configuration for use with your Twilio trunk.
Make sure you have your Network & Physical Interfaces appropriately configured.
Configure your Trunk SIP Interface towards Twilio:
sip-interface
state enabled
realm-id OUTSIDE
description
sip-port
address X.X.X.X (add this to your Twilio IP ACL)
port 5060
transport-protocol UDP
tls-profile
allow-anonymous agents-only
ims-aka-profile
carriers
trans-expire 0
...
Configure your Session Agent towards Twilio:
session-agent
hostname example.pstn.twilio.com
ip-address
port 5060
state enabled
app-protocol SIP
app-type
transport-method UDP
realm-id OUTSIDE
egress-realm-id
description Twilio
carriers
allow-next-hop-lp enabled
constraints disabled
...
The second example presented here illustrates adding +1
to called numbers (To and Request-URI headers) for all SIP trunk endpoints in a particular realm.
Firstly, define the session-translation with a called rule:
session-translation
id addCalledPlusOne
rules-calling
rules-called addPlusOne
Then define the rule to append +1
:
translation-rules
id addPlusOne
type add
add-string +1
add-index 0
delete-string
delete-index 0
Lastly, apply the translation as outgoing to the SIP trunk realm:
realm-config
identifier OUTSIDE
...
in-translationid
out-translationid addCalledPlusOne
...
Set the preferred codec to G711 mu-law. In the example below, the Net-Net SD manipulates the codec list for all PBXs in the PBXs realm such that PCMU appear first in the media descriptor offered to the SIP trunk:
realm-config
identifier PBXs
...
options preferred-codec=PCMU
...
Cisco ISR (Cisco 28xx, 29xx, 38xx, 39xx, 43xx etc.)
Assuming you have your ISR already set up with one or more telephones configured and running calls between them, the following highlights specific configuration for use with your Twilio Trunk.
If you use credentials for outbound calls, you must use the B2BUA built into Cisco IOS:
sip-ua
authentication username anniebp password 7 15431A0D1E0A1C171060302610 realm sip.twilio.com
registrar dns:example.pstn.twilio.com expires 3600
sip-server dns:example.pstn.twilio.com
!
Update your Trust List:
voice service voip
ip address trusted list
ipv4 54.172.60.0/23
ipv4 54.171.127.192/26
ipv4 54.65.63.192/26
ipv4 54.169.127.128/26
ipv4 54.252.254.64/26
ipv4 177.71.206.192/26
allow-connections sip to sip

- TWILIO accepts 'Early offer' only, so Cisco users/partners would have to force call as Early offer.
- Use SIP normalization profile to change 'From' header to include IP address of CUBE router instead of DNS name
Ensure all numbers use full E.164 format, so transform all outbound calls to E.164 before sending to Twilio. The rules below are doing 2 things: changing this outbound call from 919803331212
to +19803331212
and changing the ANI from 4002
to 9802180999
.
voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 /^91/ /+1/
!
voice translation-rule 2
rule 1 /4004/ /9802180971/
rule 2 /4002/ /9802180999/
rule 3 /4005/ /9802180980/
!

Lastly, you may have a dial-peer with 91[2-9]..[2-9]...... in order to catch the calls. You can see the translation profile that is applied to translated the number to E.164. Also ensure G.711 codec is used. The ‘session target sip-server’ is what target the sip B2BUA configured above with the ‘sip-ua’ command.

Assuming you have your SBC already set up with your IP-PBX, with one or more telephones configured and running calls between them, the following highlights specific configuration for use with your Twilio Trunk.
Make sure you have an IP Group defined with:
IPGroup_Description: Twilio
IPGroup_SIPGroupName: domain.pstn.twilio.com
...
Define your Proxy IP:
[ ProxyIp ]
FORMAT ProxyIp_Index = ProxyIp_IpAddress, ProxyIp_TransportType, ProxyIp_ProxySetId;
ProxyIp 1 = "54.172.60.0/23:5060", 0, 2;
ProxyIp 2 = "54.171.127.192/26:5060", 0, 2;
ProxyIp 3 = "54.65.63.192/26:5060", 0, 2;
ProxyIp 4 = "54.169.127.128/26:5060", 0, 2;
ProxyIp 5 = "54.252.254.64/26:5060", 0, 2;
ProxyIp 6 = "177.71.206.192/26:5060", 0, 2;
[ \ProxyIp ]
Have a Coders Group with:
CodersGroup0_Name: g711ulaw64k
CodersGroup0_pTime: 20
CodersGroup0_PayloadType: 0
You will also need to define your IP Profiles & Routing rules.
