SIP INVITE Format

The following is an example SIP INVITE message with the minimum number of SIP headers required by ClearIP. ClearIP will accept a SIP INVITE in any format, with no limit on additional headers and the SDP (Session Description Protocol) information.

Phone numbers must be sent using E164 format with or without the ‘+’ (18554742536 or +18554742536). If numbers are sent with the leading ‘+’, then ClearIP Number Translation Rules must be configured to strip the ‘+’ for internal processing.

Example Accepted SIP INVITE Formats:

Internationals numbers must come in E164 as well (+306946178085) but international dialing code prefixes such as 011 are acceptable (011306946178085). If international numbers are sent with the leading ‘+’ or 011, then ClearIP Number Translation Rules must be configured to strip the ‘+’ or 011 for internal processing.
