# What mobile app should an ISP or SIP trunking provider offer?

> ISPs and SIP trunking providers already have billing and customer relationships. Adding a branded mobile app creates sticky revenue and prevents churn to UCaaS competitors.

ISPs and SIP trunking providers can add a branded mobile softphone (with [auto-provisioning](/voip-glossary/auto-provisioning/), push notifications, and full white-label branding) without replacing their existing softswitch. Cloud Softphone registers as a standard SIP endpoint against Metaswitch, BroadSoft, FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, or your softswitch, and launches in 2–4 weeks.

## The Problem: Trunks Are Commoditized

SIP trunking is a $73 billion market growing to $181 billion by 2031. But trunks alone are a race to the bottom on price. Your customers can port numbers to any provider in days. The only defense against churn is making your service sticky.

A **branded mobile app** does that. When your customer's employees use your app every day (making calls, checking voicemail, joining conferences), switching providers means retraining everyone and losing their call history.

## What ISPs and SIP Trunking Providers Need

Not every mobile app platform fits. What matters for your business model:

  - **Works with your existing softswitch**: BroadSoft, Metaswitch, NetSapiens, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH. No rip-and-replace.

  - **Your brand, not ours**: your company name in the App Store and Google Play. Your logo on the splash screen. Your colors everywhere.

  - **Auto-provisioning**: when a customer signs up, their app configures itself. No manual SIP credential entry.

  - **[Multi-tenant architecture](/resources/knowledge-base/multi-tenant-voip-platform/)**: if you serve multiple business customers, each gets isolated branding and feature sets.

  - **Push notifications that work**: calls must ring even when the app is closed. This is the #1 reason subscribers abandon softphones.

## White-Label Options in the Market

Several vendors offer [white-label VoIP apps](/resources/knowledge-base/can-i-white-label-a-mobile-app-for-my-voip-customers/):

  - **Viirtue**: MSP/telco-focused, includes billing platform

  - **Tragofone**: claims 24-hour deployment, WebRTC-based

  - **Yeastar**: partners get up to 70% margins, full UCaaS white-label

  - **RingLogix**: uses NetSapiens platform under the hood

Each has tradeoffs. Some bundle a backend you may not need. Others limit which softswitches you can connect to.

## Why Cloud Softphone Fits ISPs and SIP Trunk Providers

**Cloud Softphone** is the app layer only: it doesn't force a softswitch or billing system on you. It registers as a standard SIP endpoint against whatever backend you already run.

Key capabilities for ISPs:

  - Native iOS and Android apps with full feature parity

  - Server-side provisioning: push configs to hundreds or thousands of users

  - 300+ customization options for branding and feature control

  - Per-domain tenant isolation for multi-customer deployments

  - Three-layer push architecture: FCM/APNs + SIPIS relay + local fallback. Push delivery is handled by SIPIS, Acrobits' push infrastructure (operational since 2009), which works regardless of your softswitch.

You already own the customer relationship and the billing. Cloud Softphone gives you the app to complete the package. Typical launch: **2–4 weeks** from signed contract to live app in both stores.
