Masergy Calling: Make calls with Microsoft Teams®

A seamlessly integrated PSTN solution for Microsoft Teams

Microsoft® Teams enables employees to effectively communicate from any location via text chat, voice call, or video conference. Microsoft Teams can even replace your company’s existing private branch exchange (PBX) telephone system—empowering users to take and make calls from a desk phone or internet-connected device. However, to use Microsoft Teams as your company’s new telephony system requires an additional PSTN (public switched telephone network) service. This is where Masergy steps in, providing voice services in 29+ countries with clear call quality.

Manage costs for Microsoft Teams calling plans

Microsoft Teams’ Calling Plan is a PSTN service that is considered an add-on to each individual user. Licenses are sold by DID, and international service is an additional fee per person/per month. Alternatively, Masergy’s service is a direct routing connection with a “pay-for-what-you-use” calling plan and SIP Trunking options for Microsoft Teams calling. This way, you can right size your service, deploying and paying for only the concurrent call paths you need.
