Get modern communication with Microsoft Teams & VoIP by switching your business phone to the cloud.
What is VoIP?
To keep it simple, VoIP uses the same functions of traditional calling but operates over computer networks. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. Other names for VoIP are: IP telephony, internet telephony, broadband telephony, or broadband phone service.
Phone calls can be made through any computer connected to the internet via voice over IP and headset. This is done by converting the voice into a digital signal, allowing calls to be made over any VoIP compatible network.
Microsoft Teams & VoIP Integration
Microsoft Teams allows for easy integration of 3rd party apps to enhance teamwork collaboration and communication. With Teams, you can get on VoIP platforms with the purchase of the Office 365 voice license. Likewise, Microsoft offers their own service to route calls, offering bundle packages and fixed pricing tariffs.
When using VoIP with Microsoft Teams, you get the best of both tools. Some benefits of this integration include:
- Injecting messages into a user’s Teams session. For example: “You have a new voicemail” or “Your customer service call queue exceeded the target of 5 people waiting”
- Linking Teams with a telephone directory
- Schedule meetings with customers and co-workers
- Chat/ message co-workers
