Microsoft Teams Calling

Microsoft Teams Calling, also known as Direct Routing is a cost-effective alternative to Microsoft Calling plans on your Microsoft phone system. Microsoft phone system users can make and receive landline or mobile calls by adding the Hello Teams Calling service. The Hello Teams Calling service is a simple add–on subscription that combines the benefits of VoIP with the collaboration capabilities of Teams.

What is Teams Calling?

Currently, anyone using Teams can communicate with other Teams users without a phone number. Adding the Hello Teams Calling service converts a Teams account into a telephone. This allows users to make and receive telephone calls using their Teams application.

Can Teams Calling replace my existing phone service?

This depends on your organisation. Teams Calling is suited to staff who already regularly use Teams to make and receive calls internally.
