But today you have a phone system that has a call queue with a specific type of routing calls like phones, ring a certain way when calls come into your call queue and you&#8217;re wondering, can Microsoft teams phone emulate the same routing? We have today on our current call queue? I&#8217;m Mike Smith. I&#8217;m the president of Aerocom. Let&#8217;s put our heads together on this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>My recommendations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, if you&#8217;d like my recommendation on the best dial tone providers for teams phone system to know which ones your company should be quoting, reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out, send me an <a href=\"mailto:AskMike@AeroComInc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email<\/a> or give me a call (714.593.0011).

I&#8217;d love to hear what you have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>4 Call Routing Options for Teams Phone<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>team&#8217;s phone system actually has four different ways you can set up call routing for call queues. The first way is called <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pSIOUoJq1SE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attendant routing<\/a>, which a lot of other cloud phone systems would call that simultaneous ring. So that&#8217;s when if somebody calls into your call queue, all phones ring at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second option you have with Microsoft teams phone system for call queue routing, it&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=call+center+serial+routing&amp;rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS1048US1048&amp;oq=call+center+serial+routing&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORigATIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRifBdIBCDI1NzVqMGo3qAIAsAIA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=call+center+serial+routing&amp;rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS1048US1048&amp;oq=call+center+serial+routing&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORigATIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRifBdIBCDI1NzVqMGo3qAIAsAIA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\">serial routing<\/a>. Now that is when you set up users in the exact order that you want calls to ring. So say you have a salesperson who&#8217;s your top salesperson. You want them to receive the calls first and then if they&#8217;re not available, the next person, then the next person, then the next person. So you set up the order and it rings in that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third type of call routing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/microsoft-teams-phone-system-review-demo-for-medium-large-size-companies-in-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/microsoft-teams-phone-system-review-demo-for-medium-large-size-companies-in-2024\/\">Microsoft teams phone<\/a> has is called round Robin. What that is, is that when calls will load balance among the available agents receiving phone calls. So think of it like just making sure that, you know, one person isn&#8217;t getting several calls in a row. It just load balances between everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the last option for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/orpB5bMXuQM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/orpB5bMXuQM\">call routing<\/a> is called longest idle. So just as it states, it&#8217;s going to route the call to the person who&#8217;s been on idle the longest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Call Queue Routing Options with Microsoft Teams Phone System\" class=\"wp-image-11150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WP-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>Other questions you may have<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, some of the other questions you might have when it comes to teams phone system call routing for call queues is, hey, can agents log in or out?
