What Is Microsoft Teams Phone?

Microsoft Teams Phone is a cloud-based business phone system built directly into Microsoft Teams, enabling organisations to make and receive calls over the internet instead of traditional phone lines.

It combines VoIP telephony, collaboration tools and call management features into one unified platform: eliminating the need for separate PBX systems or on-premise phone hardware.

With Teams Phone, your employees can:

  • Make and receive calls from anywhere
  • Transfer calls between departments
  • Set up call queues and auto attendants
  • Access voicemail and call recordings
  • Use the same phone number across multiple devices

All within the familiar Microsoft Teams interface your staff already use daily.
