Microsoft Teams Integration Phone Communication for Businesses

SimpleVoIP offers an integration that enables you to add the Microsoft Teams dial pad as another phone option. With our MS Teams integration, you can start using the native dial pad within the Teams app as a softphone backed by SimpleVoIP.

By creating a direct route between our network and Microsoft Teams, we have activated the telephony capabilities in Microsoft Teams as a softphone, enabling Teams users to make and receive calls without changing their phone system or leaving the Teams UI.

Benefits of MS Teams Integration

Keep your SimpleVoIP-powered functionality, but add Microsoft Teams as a softphone option. This integration provides the ability to:

  • Make outbound calls and receive inbound calls with the native dial pad in Teams.
  • Receive SimpleVoIP notifications within the Microsoft Teams UI.
  • Customize softkeys with Feature Codes to incorporate VoIP features into the Teams dial pad.
  • Enjoy the call flows, apps, and other essential tools you already use with SimpleVoIP.
  • Keep Microsoft Teams as your Unified Communications client.
