Okay, so your company is looking at the option of going with Microsoft Teams Phone System for your company’s PBX.

And the one thing you might have heard of, either through one of my videos or maybe through someone else, is that you don’t have to buy it directly from Microsoft. You can actually go through a third party hosted VoIP provider, and pay them your $12 per month per user for your calling plan, and get a little bit more hands on support experience by getting Team’s Phone System through them, as opposed to going to Microsoft direct.

But you’re probably wondering how does that work?

Well the way it works is that third party hosted VoIP provider uses direct routing to connect to Microsoft, so that when you’re using your Teams through your Office 365 environment, and one of your users wants to make an outbound call, Microsoft is handing the responsibility for dial tone off to that third party hosted VoIP provider through their direct routing.

So that’s the way it works.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Or if you want information on which hosted VoIP vendors might be the best fit for offering a native Teams environment for your company, please reach out. I’d be happy to give you some recommendations. Have a great day. [email protected] 877.465.3505
