Getting started with your 30-Day free trial
Your Sipgate team account starts with a 30-day free trial, providing you with:
- 3 free test telephone numbers
- 60 free minutes
- The ability to create unlimited users
- Access to all sipgate team features except CRM integrations
You can use sipgate fully and free of charge during the 30-day trial without providing any bank details. You’ll receive a test number block with five local numbers. The trial ends automatically after 30 days, or if you upgrade to a full version during the trial.
Note: All configurations and settings will be deleted when your trial account expires.
During the trial, you get 50 free minutes to landlines and 10 free minutes to mobile networks. Additionally, you can book a SIM card or eSIM with 500 MB of data for testing purposes.
Start your trial by clicking the Free Trial button on our website.
Trial Extension
If you need to wait for a ported number beyond the trial period, you can extend the trial to retain your configurations and settings. Don’t worry, your account won’t automatically convert to a full version due to the porting request.
Credit Top-Up
You can top up your account with additional credit during the trial. If you choose not to stay with sipgate, any remaining credit can be refunded. Important: Topping up during the trial will remove your test numbers, but the trial will continue without them.
Trial Account
If you do not upgrade to a full version, your trial account remains, but your settings will be reset. You can still manage the account and upgrade to a full version at a later time.
Why are my UK trial numbers 056?
During your 30-day trial, we provide 3 non-geographic 056 UK telephone numbers for testing. These fully functional numbers allow you to make and receive calls, test call quality, forwarding, and call management setups.
Please note
- These numbers are for testing only and not intended for customer interaction.
- The 056 numbers cannot be retained or booked after the trial.
- Local numbers are not available for testing.
If you choose sipgate after the trial, we’ll provide one free local number with your preferred area code.
During a one-hour phone call approximately 50-60 MB of data traffic will be used, using the G711 codec. During a phone call conducted through sipgate, there is on average 100 Kbits of data volume per second and direction (Up and Downstream). If you do not make a phone call, there is only an extremely small amount of data traffic which is used for the registration of the phone with the SIP Server. Lower bandwidth codecs are also supported.
