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.

333Re: VP connect for asterisk multiple VOIP accounts
If you mean how do you get one VPC account and then use it with 5 or 6 differetn clients, thats easy- in * make a context which can dial out from VPC. Make as many SIP.conf entries as you want but put them all in the above context. Now they can all dial out.
