Microsoft Teams Phone: 4-Wk Implementation

Microsoft Teams Phone Microsoft Teams Phone is Microsoft's technology for enabling call control and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) capabilities in the Microsoft 365 cloud with Microsoft Teams. Teams Phone works with Teams clients and certified devices. Teams Phone allows you to replace your existing PBX system with a set of features directly delivered from Microsoft 365. Calls between users in your organization are handled internally within Teams Phone, and never go to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)--thereby removing long-distance costs on internal calls. For making external calls, Teams Phone provides add-on options for connecting to the PSTN. Teams Phone features With Teams Phone, users can use Teams to place and receive calls, transfer calls, and mute or unmute calls. Teams Phone users can click a name in their address book, and place Teams calls to that person. To place and receive calls, Teams Phone users can use their mobile devices, a headset with a laptop or PC, or one of many IP phones that work with Teams. Connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) For external calling, Teams Phone can be connected to the PSTN in one of several ways: • Purchase a Microsoft Calling Plan (domestic or domestic and international). Microsoft Calling Plan is an all-in-the-cloud solution with Microsoft as your PSTN carrier. For more information. • Use your existing telephony infrastructure for on-premises PSTN connectivity. You can connect your on-premises telephony infrastructure to Teams Phone by using Operator Connect or Direct Routing. Teams Phone with services Teams Phone can be used for services and voicemail, such as: • Auto attendants - Auto attendants can be used to create a menu system for your organization that lets external and internal callers move through the system to locate and place or transfer calls to company users or departments in your organization. • Call queues - Call queue greetings can be used when someone calls in to a phone number for your organization.
