If your team already uses Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings, Teams Phone lets them make and take regular phone calls from the same app on a laptop, mobile or desk phone.

What you need

  • A Teams Phone licence for each user who makes calls.
  • A calling plan or a connection to a phone carrier.
  • Phone numbers, either new or ported from your current provider.
  • Optional: compatible desk phones and headsets.

Keep your numbers

Most existing landline, 1300 and 1800 numbers can be ported, so customers keep calling the same numbers.

Add call flows

  • Auto attendants (IVR menus) to route callers.
  • Call queues for sales or support teams.
  • Business hours and holiday routing.

See our Landline Number and IVR System services.
