Frequently Asked Questions

Direct routing works by using a Session Border Controller (SBC), a piece of software that sits at the border between two networks. 

This allows the secure transfer of data between a public and private network.

Unite Calling takes advantage of this technology to allow Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) calls to be made and received through Microsoft Teams.

Direct routing allows you to connect the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to Microsoft Teams, allowing you to make and receive calls entirely through Teams.

This allows you to unify your communications all within Microsoft Teams, bringing voice calling, video calling and chat into one application.

With Unite Calling, setting up direct routing is easy and automated.

Unite Calling is highly automated, removing the need for Powershell and manual configuration, allowing deployment in as little as 15 minutes.

A Microsoft calling plan is a way to access the PSTN managed entirely by Microsoft. 

This option can be expensive, only available in certain regions and it can be difficult to keep your phone numbers.

Direct routing allows you to directly connect to a voice service provider.

This means you can take more control of how your organisation connects to the PSTN, including porting your numbers and having more control over rate plans.

Yes!

Unite Calling supports number porting, so you can keep all your phone numbers while using Teams.  Customers and staff members won't need to update their contact records at all.
