Working from anywhere has never been so easy! Working remotely has proved to be a boon especially in times of Covid-19. With VoIP there is no such thing as a fixed location. Once it has been set up, a phone can be moved to any location providing that location has an internet connection, and start receiving calls again once it's plugged in. Microsoft Teams Direct Router ensures that you work from 'anywhere' with same efficiency. Get in touch with our team of experts at Savincom to 'know more' about this.

What is Direct Routing?

Direct routing is a simple and cost-effective alternative to basic calling plans, allowing the user to make calls to external landlines and mobile phones from Microsoft Teams using SIP trunks. Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams is a phone system in the cloud that provides all the features you expect from a traditional phone system; saving you the time and money you would spend to install and maintain an on-premises phone system.  

Why use Direct Routing?

Many businesses utilising Microsoft Teams for internal collaboration can now benefit from the ability to make and receive calls. This is done by enabling Teams as a full cloud-based UC solution with enterprise grade telephony. Give your Teams a voice with confidence and benefit from a highly reliable, resilient architecture. All this becomes possible with Direct Routing from the UK’s No.1 SIP Trunking provider with simple provisioning, enhanced call control features and carrier grade infrastructure.
