BYOC - Do it Yourself (Bring Your Own Connectivity)

Customers will be able to add BYOC trunks to Unifonic via a direct request using the UC portal, the form will be requesting for some technical details needed for this BYOC process. On the portal, customers can also track the request status directly. Although it seem like this is a fully automated process, it isn’t. The voice engineering squad will be entertaining these requests manually. This feature is hidden behind a feature flag, and will be turned on in mid February after a complete process is documented. This feature complements a November release where customers can see BYOC trunk information.
