Your first SIP Account appears in your CommPeak Portal automatically after signup, and you can add more later. By default, you are limited to 10 SIP accounts, but if you need even more, you can create a respective request to our support team.

The following sections explain how to modify SIP account settings according to your needs.

Increasing Channel Limit

You get one channel for outbound calls after signup:

It is the limit for your entire account. The limit increases after your trial ends and you top up your account‍. If you need more channels, open a support ticket.
