How Does Microsoft Direct Routing Work?
Direct routing is the process of routing the Microsoft Teams platform to your business’s existing PSTN. This transforms Microsoft Teams, which in it’s normal functionality is used more as an internal tool, into a fully-functional business phone system, which enables you to make and receive calls to external parties.
This allows your business to take advantage of cheaper call rates, more flexibility to scale your solution to your growing business and your team can continue to use the Microsoft Teams platform that they are familiar with whilst enjoying new benefits that direct routing provides.
Unlock the Power of Microsoft Teams with Teams Talk

Due to my technology background, I immediately knew that our existing telephony system was not fit for purpose, especially during the stresses of the pandemic. It was a high priority to support our staff and our customers with the demands of the new way of working. We needed a system that we could use onsite, on the go and from home, which we could manage ourselves, but still have support on hand.
