Are you asking if the free trial can be applied to BV's BYOD Lite plan? From what I understand, yes. The free trial covers the signup fee and the first month's service charge for any BroadVoice plan.

Just a suggestion:

Don't sign up for the BYOD plan if you're using your "free month, free signup" from a Sipura purchase - that would be a waste of a month's worth of calls. Go with whatever plan they will give you (probably the World Plus plan, since it is the same dollar value). If you find you like it, you can stick with the $19.95 or greater plan, if not, downgrade to BYOD.

The above is exactly what I did: full plan for a month, BYOD plan and later back to full after they obtained numbers in my area. This is even easier to do now that they've changed their account portal to allow such changes easily (though I've not used it).

That's a great point and I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it at the time. Thank you.
