About telephony
Telephony is the set of features that administrators use to set up Genesys Cloud communications. Genesys Cloud offers three telephony connection options to provide convenience and flexibility. Simplify your implementation by using Genesys Cloud Voice, a comprehensive contact center solution that includes telephony service provided by Genesys. For additional interoperability between Genesys Cloud and third-party devices, or to retain your existing carrier service, choose a Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) option.
