Zoom Video Communications
ZM
announced at Zoomtopia Partner Connect 2021 that its reseller partners will now have the opportunity to sell Zoom Phone Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) licenses through a brand-new partner program geared toward the reseller community.
The reseller program for Zoom Phone BYOC lets enterprise customers keep their current PSTN service providers by redirecting existing voice circuits to the Zoom Phone cloud, or implement a hybrid solution with Zoom Calling Plans.
By keeping their current PSTN service providers, customers can take advantage of the benefits of Zoom Phone while keeping their existing service provider contracts, phone numbers, and calling rates with their preferred carrier of record.
Earlier, only Zoom Master Agents could refer deals for Zoom Phone and Zoom Phone BYOC. With the launch of this program, now Zoom’s reseller partners from around the world, who meet the requirements and qualify, will be authorized to resell Zoom Phone BYOC.
Further, Zoom Phone users will be able to bring customers, who use enhanced cloud peering to access PSTN to Zoom Phone Provider Exchange, together.
Currently, a pilot program for select partners, the reseller program for Zoom Phone BYOC is expected to be open to more resellers by the end of the year.
