AT&T IP Flexible Reach is a SIP trunking service that provides integrated access for both IP and TDM PBX environments. It consolidates voice and data services, simplifying operations and potentially reducing costs. When paired with the Vodia IOP PBX, this integration allows seamless management of SIP trunks, including features like fax over email or connecting traditional fax devices with an FXS adapter. To configure, you’ll need the IP Flex service with "SIP handoff" for direct SIP call routing. With Vodia's SIP trunk template, setting up AT&T Flexible Reach is streamlined, matching DID numbers to extensions or hunt groups by default, making it ideal for businesses seeking reliability and ease of use.
AT&T IP Flexible Reach is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking service that delivers integrated access for IP PBX, TDM PBX or Key System environments. It provides potential total cost benefits through the consolidation of voice and data – one provider, single transport and management options.
You can easily configure these services with the Vodia IOP PBX server and provide dial tone to all your SIP desktop phones. You can connect fax using an FXS SIP device, or let the Vodia IOP PBX deliver the fax straight to your customer via email.
When ordering the SIP service, it's important you get the IP Flex service with “SIP handoff” - this means inbound and outbound phone calls will be delivered directly via SIP and not over analog lines or PRI.
Flexible Reach SIP Trunk is now part of the Vodia SIP Trunk template. Once you have configured AT&T, log in to your Vodia IOP device, navigate to your domain and scroll down to Trunks. Click create and select AT&T.

By default, Vodia will send any incoming call to the DID number programmed to its respective extension, hunt group, ring group or IVR account (e.g., Auto-Attendant) and distribute that inbound call to a specific account when the caller presses a digit to make a choice. The Vodia AT&T template does a good job of matching the correct DID number by default, which makes it a great option for integrators looking for an easy, reliable solution.
Vodia Sales Engineer Eric Altman participated in a strategic planning meeting in Washington, DC, with BCM One, SIP Trunk, Cove Central, and elite resellers to discuss joint strategies and goals for 2025. As a trusted partner of these organizations and a member of the Cove Central Technology Alliance Partner Program (TAPP) since November 2023, Vodia continues to build on its strong industry relationships. The meeting highlighted opportunities for collaboration and innovation, aligning with Vodia's 2019s recent milestone: the certification of the Vodia PBX for Microsoft Teams. Announced in November, this certification enables businesses to enhance their Teams ecosystems with critical functionalities such as SIP trunk call routing and VoIP endpoint connectivity.
Transportation companies require robust communication tools that go beyond standard features. By integrating the Microsoft-certified Vodia PBX with MS Teams, businesses gain essential functionalities like overhead paging, emergency calling, priority routing, and failover solutions. This powerful combination ensures seamless connectivity between drivers, dispatchers, and office staff, even in remote areas. With its ability to integrate with vehicle systems and non-Teams-compatible devices, the Vodia PBX transforms communication for logistics companies, enhancing safety, productivity, and customer service. It empowers transportation businesses to maintain 24/7 operational efficiency, even in the most demanding scenarios.
Vodia’s 2024 recap highlights several key milestones, including the certification of our PBX for Microsoft Teams, which will shape the direction of our platform moving forward. We’re addressing areas where Teams falls short, particularly through SIP interoperability. In addition, our efforts to integrate Realtime AI via APIs have shown great progress, with exciting advancements planned for 2025. We’ve also made significant improvements to our PBX interface, transitioning to the more modern Tailwind framework, and launched a native Android app. iOS improvements are also in the pipeline. With AI set to transform telephony, Vodia is positioned to lead the way, bringing AI-driven capabilities to enhance productivity in 2025.
