Cloud BYOC for Twilio, Zoom Phone, and other cloud communications providers

About Twilio BYOC

Using the Twilio bring your own carrier (BYOC) feature is great and gives you a higher level of freedom in controlling your call quality on the carrier side of things. Using this feature you no longer need to be blind to what happens after you initiate a phone call via programmable voice, or Zoom Phone UI.

On the other hand, we have noticed that when scaling up your BYOC trunks things get very messy and lack advanced routing control like least cost routing (LCR), Weighted distribution, etc… Especially for developers who do not have a Session Border Controller (SBC), or short message service center (SMSC) sitting between the Cloud Communication provider and the end carrier(s).

Twilio White-label

Twilio White-label

There is no doubt that Twilio has done a great job marketing CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service) APIs and SDKs to the developer community and has went from a startup all the way to IPO .

Many apps and services that we relay on today such as ride-sharing apps like Uber and features like two-step verification when accessing our emails and web pages are mostly powered by CPaaS APIs like Twilio.
