Power-up your Microsoft Teams Phone System using the most feature-rich direct routing partner, Yay.com.
Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams allows Teams users to make external calls by connecting with your chosen communications provider.
Microsoft Calling Plans are provided by Microsoft for the purposes of making calls and include call minute bundles and phone numbers. By opting for Microsoft Teams Direct Routing instead, your business has the freedom to choose not only who powers your business calls, but the cheapest call rates available too.
There are many surprising benefits of using Direct Routing vs Microsoft's own Phone System to make and take business calls
With Direct Routing, you can retain the Microsoft Teams experience that your staff are familiar with even as you power up the backend phone system.
You’ll hold onto Teams’ intuitive navigation, business instant messaging and file sharing and its tight integration with other Microsoft products and services, including Office apps, Outlook mail and Onedrive storage.
Connecting the underpowered Microsoft phone system backend with a more powerful third-party phone system will give you more business phone features.
While Teams lacks features, through our intuitive drag and drop control panel we offer multi-level IVR call menus, call recording and more, to make call strategy creation a simple and pleasurable process. Using a Direct Routing solution like ours eliminates the feature shortcomings of Microsoft Teams.
The standard Microsoft Teams experience requires choosing a Teams certified device, leaving you with a small pool of phones to choose from, precluding the use of many cost-effective VoIP phones.
Using Yay.com’s Direct Routing solution for Teams lifts these restrictions. Grandstream, Yealink, Polycom, Cisco or any other VoIP phone brand you’re interested in becomes compatible when you use our Direct Routing service.
Microsoft’s own calling plans are quite restrictive. With Microsoft Business Voice, a Microsoft Teams bundle license, users get a limited number of minutes per month.
You may find that you burn through these limits, leaving no choice but to use expensive Microsoft’s Communications Credits for the rest of the month. Teams Direct Routing with Yay.com is completely free and you will only pay the cost of using the Yay.com service. Connect with us for cost-effective calling plans with unlimited minutes.
We handle the Direct Routing set up, so you will only have to deal with two entities: Microsoft and Yay.com.
We map your existing Teams users to our SIP users and connect our hosted PBX solution to the Microsoft Phone System. Our platform seamlessly and efficiently handles external outbound and inbound calls, for an elegant Direct Routing solution. There’s no need for an additional Session Border Controller (SBC) or tech-heavy SIP Trunk setup with us.
When you choose Yay.com, you can be up and running with Microsoft Teams as your business phone system in no time.
Hassle-free calling on any device, from anywhere. Get started in 60 seconds with our softphone apps.
Assign Teams users to staff members via licenses in the Microsoft Admin Panel. You don’t have to configure any phone system elements yet, just get your staff running with their Teams users.
Next we link your Yay.com users with your Teams users. This will take place on an onboarding call and will only take a few minutes to do.
Transfer in any existing numbers that you want to keep. You'll then configure your phone system on Yay.com with all the features you need to create your ideal caller experience.
