Microsoft Teams Voice

Improve your organisation's communication using our global voice network via direct routing to create a flexible cloud-based phone system within Microsoft Teams.

What is Microsoft Teams Voice?

Add flexible, modern calling to Microsoft Teams.

Many organisations adopting Microsoft Teams as their cloud collaboration solution, are looking to move away from their traditional voice solution. Ensuring a smooth journey to cloud voice is important, and it needs to work for organisations today and in the future.

That’s why we’ve combined our global SIP network with Microsoft Teams, giving you a direct routing capability that provides cloud-based calling to Microsoft Teams. So you can get the scalability, improved user experience and reduced infrastructure costs of cloud telephony.

With the complexities of transformation managed by us. Giving your people the ability to make and receive calls from their collaboration tool, regardless of device or location.

How does Microsoft Teams Voice work?

Voice is a key part of any collaboration tool.

Microsoft Teams Voice with BT provides voice where you need it. With virtualised gateways in the Microsoft Azure cloud we deliver SIP services and enable calling in 180 countries and 85% of Fortune 500 locations.

Deploying virtualised gateways allows us to accelerate the deployment of your voice service. Being virtualised in Microsoft’s Azure cloud also brings a closer integration with Microsoft Teams so we can ensure excellent voice quality. Where SIP services can’t be supplied, we provide physical gateways so your entire organisation can be connected.

We use our decades of voice transformation experience to craft a migration journey tailored to your organisation. And through our user adoptions services, we reduce the friction that your organisation feels when adopting new technology.

It doesn’t stop at deployment. With our comprehensive managed service, you receive in-life support anytime, anywhere. Offering a secure, reliable service that enables both internal and external collaboration.
