Technical Details

Star2billing’s hosted PBX is usually installed on two physical servers, one for A2Billing, and the other server for the virtual instances of the PBX. A fixed public IP address is required for each instance of the PBX.

The each PBX is configured with a SIP trunk to A2Billing which in turn least cost routes the call to the carriers and charges for the call.
