# Making SIP Calls

Use Twilio's REST API to connect to your SIP-enabled endpoints. With this feature, you can set up a VoIP session using SIP. If you are unfamiliar with SIP, or want more information on how Twilio works with your SIP endpoint, please see the [SIP overview](/docs/voice/api/sip-interface).

## HTTP POST to Calls

Initiate SIP sessions via the REST API by `POST`ing to the same calls resource used to [make outbound phone calls](/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-make-outbound-phone-calls). Once the call is connected, Twilio will then fetch the TwiML you specify for the call. For example, make a SIP call by `POST`ing to your account's [calls list resource](/docs/voice/api/call-resource) URI:

```bash
 /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls
```

### POST Parameters

All outgoing call features and parameters are supported — the only difference is that you pass different values in the "To" and "From" parameters. In the "To" parameter, put the SIP URI you are trying to connect to. In the "From" parameter, specify the user you want to show up in the From header in the SIP request.

#### Required Parameters

You must `POST` the following parameters:

| Parameter | Description                              |
| :-------- | :--------------------------------------- |
| To        | The SIP URI to which you want to connect |

The 'To' parameter specifies a SIP address for Twilio to connect to. The body of the URI element should be a valid SIP URI under 255 characters. For example:

```bash
sip:michael@example.com
```

#### Headers

Pass headers in the `To` parameter by appending them to the end of the SIP URI. For certain sdks, `&` will need encoding as `%26`. The total characters passed in a header must be under 1024. For example:

```bash
sip:michael@example.com?mycustomheader=foo&myotherheader=bar
```

#### Transport

Set a parameter on your SIP URI to specify what transport protocol you want to use. You may use `UDP`, `TCP` or `TLS`. By default, Twilio sends your SIP INVITE over `UDP`. Change this by using the transport parameter:

```bash
sip:jack@example.com;transport=tcp
```

Also, when using `transport=tls`, this will only encrypt SIP signaling messages and not `RTP`. To use `SRTP` and to encrypt SIP signaling, please add a parameter `secure=true` to your SIP URI:

```bash
sip:jack@example.com;secure=true
```

#### Optional Parameters

You may `POST` the following parameters:

| Parameter       | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| From            | This value is used to populate the username portion of the From header that is passed to the SIP endpoint. This may be any alphanumeric character, as well as the plus, minus, underscore, and period characters (+-\_.). No spaces or other characters are allowed. |
| SipAuthUsername | Your authentication username.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| SipAuthPassword | The password for the user.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
