BYOC works by integrating your carrier’s SIP trunks with communication tools, allowing seamless voice management behind the scenes.

In telecom, Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) allows businesses to connect their preferred voice provider to cloud communication platforms, giving them more control over call routing and compliance without relying on bundled carrier services.

SIP trunking is the technology that delivers voice over the Internet and BYOC is the service model that lets businesses select and connect their preferred SIP trunk provider to cloud communication platforms like Zoom Phone or Microsoft Teams.

The primary benefits of adopting BYOC include global reach, greater call control, reduced telecom costs, compliance, and flexible scaling. Additionally, BYOC can enable faster market entry without physical infrastructure, supports multi-region call routing, improves disaster recovery with failover options, and offers deeper visibility into voice performance through advanced analytics.

BYOC facilitates international expansion by enabling rapid local presence without physical infrastructure by providing local and toll-free numbers and displaying local caller IDs.
