Bring Your Own Device - BYOD

The practice of some VoIP Service Providers to allow you to supply your own equipment.
Other providers insist on supplying equipment, which usually is hobbled so it only works
with one service provider. When you use your own unlocked device, you have a choice to place calls to different destinations using different providers to get the lowest call rate.
