Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) – Connect Your Existing Numbers to Maqsam Effortlessly

Intro to BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier)

🚀 What is 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. This is achieved by establishing a connection between Maqsam’s network and your network. 


In other words, BYOC allows you to enjoy both:

✅ Keep your own number

✅ Access all Maqsam features

✅ Maintain control over your telephony setup


To manage to do so, there are some technical requirements that need to be provided on your end.


⚙️ Technical Requirements 


To get started with BYOC, please make sure the following technical requirements are in place: 


For SIP or PRI Connections: 

🌐 Static IP Address

🔐 IPsec VPN

🎛️ Voice Gateway (required only for PRI connections)


Notes

Note: Maqsam’s technical team will guide you through the process from our side. However, your team must have the technical expertise of a voice engineer to complete the configuration on your end.


⌛ Setup Timeline 


If all technical requirements have been met as mentioned in point above, then the following delivery timeline can be achieved. Otherwise, setup may take longer depending on when the technical requirements are met on your end.
