Intro to BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier)

🔍 Overview of Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC)

At Maqsam, we believe in flexibility and control. That’s why we offer Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC). This feature allows you to connect your existing phone numbers or carrier directly to Maqsam by establishing a connection between Maqsam’s network and your network.

In other words, BYOC allows you to:

Keep your own number
Access all Maqsam features
Maintain control over your telephony setup
