# Bring Your Own Carrier – Cloud Peering (BYOC-C)

#### Bring Your Own Carrier – Cloud Peering (BYOC-C)

In addition to the Zoom Phone Native service offering, Zoom Phone also supports a Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) service with **cloud peering** (BYOC-C). With this service model, a business can choose one or more underlying telephony carriers to connect (i.e., cloud peer) with Zoom Phone's data centers, **without** requiring any on-premises hardware, like a session border controller (SBC).

BYOC-C deployments give businesses continued access to Zoom Phone cloud-based PBX features like Call Queues, Auto Receptionists, number assignment, etc., while the underlying telephony connections are handled by the chosen provider(s) without the maintenance costs of on-premises hardware.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">With BYOC-C, customers can choose an already-approved telephony service provider from Zoom's Provider Exchange network</mark>

With Zoom Phone's cloud peering service model (BYOC-C), Zoom Phone customers are free to choose which underlying telephony providers they will work with to meet their coverage needs. To simplify this process, Zoom offers the [Provider Exchange](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/voip-phone/features/provider-exchange/), which offers a list of telephony service providers pre-configured and pre-approved to cloud peer with Zoom Phone; all a business needs to do is independently set up their billing and contracts with the provider.

**Note**

Instructions for [finding a provider from the Provider Exchange](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb\&sysparm_article=KB0059430#h_01H562N886RMWA5TFNXCFGRTVW) are available on Zoom's support center.

Customers should also be aware that the BYOC-C service will require a separate bill for their chosen provider(s), in addition to their Zoom Phone bill.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Customers can combine a cloud peering provider with the Zoom Phone Native service model for greater international coverage</mark>

Companies that require broader international coverage beyond what the Zoom Phone Native service model offers can enhance their connectivity by integrating a cloud peering service provider with Zoom Phone Native. This combination can grant access to PSTN services within countries that are not readily available through the Native service model.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Zoom Phone's Provider Exchange network collectively covers over 90 countries with PSTN connectivity</mark>
