Microsoft Calling Plans vs Direct Routing
Microsoft Business Voice can be implemented in two ways, either through Microsoft Calling Plans or by Direct Routing.
We’re explained both options below:
Using Microsoft Calling Plans
A Microsoft Calling Plan is created and managed fully by Microsoft. This option is expensive and only available in a few territories. Porting numbers can also be confusing and time consuming, with no dedicated contact to help with the process.
The Microsoft Calling Plan includes a domestic calling plan with 1,200 minutes per user, per month within UK.
Using Direct Routing
Microsoft Teams Direct Routing is the flexible, accessible and cost-effective alternative to Microsoft Calling Plans allowing you to make and receive calls external to your business from Microsoft Teams using SIP Trunks to route the calls.
Any company using Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams as their unified communications tool can implement Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams from SoConnect as their preferred provider for voice and benefit from cost savings, increased functionality and support for migration.
Direct Routing includes a domestic calling plan with 4,000 minutes per user, per month within the UK.
