WHAT IS A MICROSOFT TEAMS PHONE SYSTEM?
The PBX (private Branch Exchange) in Microsoft’s product suite is the technology that enables call control and phone system functionalities within the Microsoft Teams ecosystem. Users can access the Teams Phone System features using either Apps on their mobile devices, clients on the laptops or PC’s or via Microsoft Teams Certified Devices.
Calls can be placed between users within your organisation internally within you business regardless of the staffs locations, meaning that there is no interaction with the outside world, and therefore no call costs. To make calls outside your business, you will need to add products such as Teams Direct Routing – which is a virtual phone line from your Teams environment to the outside world.

Call answer/Initiate
This feature allows a user to answer a call with a click or touch and enables the dial-pad so that outbound numbers can be dialled from any Teams enabled device
Call forwarding & Twinning
Allows calls to be forwarded to another destination or to ring simultaneously on another device or number. Unanswered calls can be sent to co-workers or voicemail.
Group Call Pickup
Incoming calls can be routed to a group of users when the called user is busy or not available. Users within the group can then configure how they wish to be notified.

Caller ID (CLI)

Federated Calling
If multiple tenancies are linked, users within these tenancies can call each other like it is an internal call. This allows for secure communication and collaboration.
Presence based Routing

Integrated Dial Pad
Allows for calling utilising the embedded dial-pad in the Teams App on your mobile or desktop. You can chose to dial by number or by name if it is a stored contact.
Video Calls

Distinctive Ring
Users can elect alternate ring tones for external calls, internal transfers, forwarded calls etc, so they can easily identify the call type or individual the call is coming from.
Call Blocking
Allows users to block a number by adding them to a “blocked caller” list. This can be used to manage nuisance or unwanted telemarketing calls.
Shared Line Appearance

Common Area Phones
