What is VoiceLink SIP trunking used for in a Bolna voice agent?
VoiceLink SIP trunking connects your VoiceLink numbers to a Bolna voice agent, so the agent answers calls to those numbers and calls out from them through VoiceLink. VoiceLink is an Indian telephony provider with no carrier preset in Bolna, so you connect it as a Custom SIP trunk. VoiceLink listens on port 3300, so its gateway is added after the trunk is created.
How do I set up a VoiceLink SIP trunk with Bolna?
- Have your VoiceLink SIP username and password, at least one VoiceLink number, and the IPs VoiceLink sends calls from. Ask VoiceLink support for the IPs if they are not in your account.
- In Bolna, under Deploy, open SIP Trunks, click Create trunk and pick Custom. Enter a trunk name and channels, and leave Gateway we dial empty.
- On the Carrier IPs step, add VoiceLink's IPs. Enter your VoiceLink SIP username and password under Carrier credentials (optional).
- Add your VoiceLink numbers in E.164 format, such as
+91XXXXXXXXXX, and create the trunk. - On the trunk's Connection tab, click Add gateway and enter host
sip.voicelink.co.in, port3300, priority1. - In VoiceLink, open Voice Services > SIP Trunks > Create SIP Trunk. If Bolna is not in the Bot Provider list, select Custom and enter host
trunk.bolna.ai, port5060, UDP or TCP, andPCMUorPCMA. - In Call Routing > Create Routing, select your number and set Inbound Call and Outbound Call to SIP Trunk with the new trunk.
- In Bolna, assign an agent to each number, and set the agent's Telephony Provider to SIP Trunk for outbound calls.
Every field is in the VoiceLink SIP trunk setup guide in the Bolna docs.

What can you build with VoiceLink SIP and Bolna?
AI agents on VoiceLink numbers. Route a VoiceLink number to the trunk and have a Bolna agent answer it, or set a default agent for every number on the trunk.
Outbound calls from your VoiceLink numbers. Place single calls or batches with a VoiceLink number as caller ID.
Caller details in the prompt. Inbound calls fill from_number and to_number, and mapped SIP headers can add more variables.
Check the connection without an agent. Test trunk places an echo call in each direction, so you can confirm VoiceLink's setup before going live.
For other carriers, see the generic SIP trunk page.
