What is Direct Routing?

Microsoft Teams Direct Routing is a flexible, accessible, and low cost alternative to Microsoft Calling Plans. It allows your organisation to make calls within Microsoft Teams using SIP Trunks to route the calls. Whilst many businesses already use Skype for Business as their Microsoft based telephony platform, this is being retired this year (2021), and Microsoft are encouraging all users to transition to Teams.

If your organisation has:

  • Microsoft 365 or Office 365 licences (including Microsoft Teams)
  • The Microsoft Phone System Add-on
  • An Internet Connection

you can enable Direct Routing.
