Which Verizon products are supported?

Verizon Business SIP Trunking, Verizon IP Trunking, and most Verizon Business voice products. The integration pattern is SBC + SIP entity for Open behind your PBX.

Do I have to change my Verizon contract?

No. The Verizon-side configuration stays exactly as it is.

Can I keep my numbers?

Yes. All Verizon-supplied numbers stay on Verizon.

E911 routing stays on Verizon, fully unchanged. The AI never initiates 911 calls itself.

Yes — for any Verizon SIP trunk, an SBC is the standard mediation layer.

Can the AI escalate to my PBX agents?

Yes. SIP REFER returns the call via the SBC into the PBX with the transcript attached.

What does this cost on top of Verizon?

Verizon keeps invoicing carrier minutes. Open charges per resolved conversation.

How long does setup actually take?

30–60 minutes — mostly PBX/SBC change-control.

٠١ — نظرة عامة

Can I add an AI phone agent to my Verizon Business SIP setup?

Yes. Verizon Business SIP Trunking and IP Trunking products terminate on your SBC; Open joins as a SIP destination behind that SBC. Your Verizon contract, numbers, and E911 stay where they are.

Verizon Business remains your Tier-1 carrier. Numbers, E911 records, regulatory compliance, and PSTN reach all stay with Verizon. Open joins as a SIP destination on the trusted side of your SBC — the SBC keeps Verizon-side signaling mediated, and Open lives behind it. The PBX you run (typically Avaya, Mitel, Cisco, 3CX, or a hosted Cloud PBX) decides which calls hand off to AI.

For inbound, the call lands on Verizon, traverses the SBC into your PBX, and at the point you want AI to take over the PBX routes the call to Open's SIP entity (also configured behind the SBC). Verizon owns the carrier leg; the PBX makes the routing decision; Open answers.

For outbound, Open opens a SIP session against the SBC using a service-account credential, and the SBC forwards to Verizon. Verizon-side billing sees regular outbound minutes; Open never marks them up. Caller IDs are constrained to whatever Verizon has approved on the trunk.

What the AI does on the call: it listens, reasons over your knowledge base and connected tools, and acts. When the AI needs a human, it warm-transfers back via SIP REFER through the SBC into your PBX, which routes to a queue or skill with the live transcript attached.

E911 stays on Verizon. The AI does not initiate 911 calls; if a customer asks for emergency help, the AI warm-transfers to a human and passes through emergency intent to your existing E911 path.
