1. What a SIP trunk in US Virgin Islands actually is
A SIP trunk is the IP delivery pipe between a carrier and your PBX, AI voice agent, or call-control platform; signaling over SIP, audio over RTP. A US Virgin Islands SIP trunk is the same thing carrying +1 340 USVI DIDs allocated under FCC.
DIDHub provides the trunk authentication and SIP transport; FCC-compliant number allocation is coordinated through our in-region carrier partners. Your PBX or platform sees a standard SIP trunk; we handle the regulator-side paperwork.
2. US Virgin Islands regulation: FCC, KYC, compliance
FCC doesn't require KYC for standard US Virgin Islands number allocation. Activation is Instant to 3 business days.
What people typically use a US Virgin Islands SIP trunk for:
- US territory presence, full US legal/regulatory framework.
- Tourism inbound, St Thomas, St Croix, St John, Water Island.
- Offshore finance, USVI Economic Development Authority (EDA) tax incentives.
- Toll-free 1-800, free for USVI callers.
The USVI operates under the FCC. Standard NANP allocations don't require KYC. Activation instant to 3 business days. Same regulatory framework as mainland US (Form-499, USF, STIR/SHAKEN, handled by DIDHub).
For the broader picture across countries, see our guide to international DID compliance & KYC bundles. For the SIP-trunk concept end-to-end, see the DID Number Provider guide.
3. Number types you can route over the trunk
DIDHub supports the standard US Virgin Islands number types over the SIP trunk:
| Code | Type | National dialing | International dialing | Mobile | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
340 | Geographic | 340 XXXX XXXX | +1 340 340 XXXX XXXX | Yes | $7.00/mo + usage |
1-800 | Toll-free | 1-800 XXXX XXXX | +1 340 1-800 XXXX XXXX | Yes | $16.00/mo + usage |
For a deeper look at how number types differ globally, see DID number types explained.
4. How DIDHub's SIP trunk works in US Virgin Islands
The technical surface of the trunk is standardised; the US Virgin Islands-specific choices are the POP, the codec list, and the failover topology.
Ingress POPs
- Frankfurt (primary), lowest in-region latency to US Virgin Islands endpoints.
- London (failover), secondary route used if the primary path degrades.
Transport & security
- TLS:5061 recommended for any production trunk; UDP allowed for legacy.
- SRTP for media via DTLS-SRTP or SDES.
- SIP authentication: digest registration (PBX behind NAT) or IP-ACL (static peering). See SIP authentication.
Codecs
- G.711 a-law (PCMA), the European default.
- G.722, wideband HD voice on capable endpoints.
- Opus, for AI voice agents and IP-native softphones.
- G.729, available on request.
For the codec deep-dive, see voice codecs explained.
DTMF
- RFC 4733 (telephone-events over RTP) is the default. SIP INFO and in-band DTMF available for legacy interop on request.
Channel concurrency
- Trunks start at 5 concurrent channels and scale to 200 per trunk off the shelf. Larger requires a custom arrangement.
- Channels are independent of DID count; you can carry 200 numbers on a 10-channel trunk if your concurrent-call peak is 10. See multiple concurrent calls on one DID.
STIR/SHAKEN
- Not applicable. The North-American STIR/SHAKEN attestation framework is a US/Canada construct that doesn't exist in Europe. EU trust signals come through national regulator registration and operator-side caller-ID validation.
5. Outbound calling from your US Virgin Islands trunk
Outbound from a US Virgin Islands-allocated DID to US Virgin Islands destinations is allowed within approved use cases. The per-minute economics:
| Destination | Per-minute | Billing increment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Virgin Islands landline (geographic) | €0.020/min | 1+1 second | Standard use cases |
| US Virgin Islands mobile | €0.10/min | 1+1 second | Standard use cases |
| International from US Virgin Islands DID | Per destination rate | 1+1 second | See global rates |
Outbound caller-ID rules
- Your outbound CLI must match a DID you've allocated through the trunk. Setting an arbitrary caller ID is rejected at the SBC.
- Origin-based rating (OBR) applies on cross-border outbound, the regulated EEA tier may apply depending on the source carrier.
- For multi-region operators, see origin-based rating savings.
6. Setup in 6 steps
Sign up & submit details
Create a DIDHub account, supply your business details and the intended use case for US Virgin Islands numbers.
Allocation through our US Virgin Islands carrier partner
Allocation through our in-region carrier; typically Instant to 3 business days.
Allocate DIDs & channel capacity
You pick the US Virgin Islands number types you need and how many. Channel capacity allocated at the same time.
Receive trunk credentials
SIP URI (defaults to sip.didhub.io, terminating to Frankfurt), digest username/password or IP-ACL details, TLS cert verification fingerprint, and your assigned DIDs.
Wire up your PBX or platform
Standard SIP trunk configuration on Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, or any modern stack. For Teams Direct Routing, Vapi, Retell, or other BYOC platforms, paste credentials into their BYOC config.
Test inbound + outbound
Place a test call to one of your DIDs from a US Virgin Islands mobile or landline; place a test outbound back. Confirm caller-ID resolves correctly, codec negotiates as expected, and audio quality is acceptable.

10. FAQ
Which POP should I connect to for a US Virgin Islands SIP trunk?
Frankfurt is the recommended primary; London is the standard failover. Both terminate to US Virgin Islands via in-region carriers.
How long does activation take for a US Virgin Islands SIP trunk?
Instant to 3 business days after KYC documents are accepted (or instantly where KYC isn't required). Provisioning the SIP side itself is hours, not days; the variability is on the FCC/carrier side.
What codecs should I configure for a US Virgin Islands SIP trunk?
G.711a / G.722 / Opus as the negotiation list, in that order. G.711a is the regional default for US Virgin Islands interop.
Can I use my US Virgin Islands SIP trunk with Microsoft Teams?
Yes, via Microsoft Teams Direct Routing through DIDHub's managed SBC. See Teams Direct Routing.
Can I use my US Virgin Islands SIP trunk with AI voice agents (Vapi, Retell, ElevenLabs)?
Yes, BYOC SIP trunk works with every major AI voice platform. Bind specific US Virgin Islands DIDs to specific agents; outbound CLI must match an allocated DID.
How many concurrent calls can one US Virgin Islands DID handle?
The DID is an address; concurrent-call capacity is set by the channel count on the trunk. A 50-channel trunk with 1 DID can carry 50 concurrent calls to that one number; the same trunk with 200 DIDs can carry 50 concurrent calls across any combination of those numbers.
Does STIR/SHAKEN apply in US Virgin Islands?
N/A (regional construct). Trust signals come instead through national regulator registration and operator-side caller-ID validation.
Can I port my existing US Virgin Islands number to a DIDHub SIP trunk?
Yes. Typical US Virgin Islands port timeline is 1-3 weeks. Required documents vary by number type; contact us for the specific checklist. See number porting explained for the global picture.
What use cases get approved most easily?
Customer service inbound, opted-in callbacks, transactional 2FA, inbound AI voice agents, and Microsoft Teams Direct Routing for registered entities. Cold outbound, unsolicited SMS campaigns, and anonymous-relay setups are routinely rejected.
