Microsoft Teams Voice gives you a phone system fit for the modern workplace. Easy to set up and hosted securely in the cloud, Teams Voice allows you to connect your people and customers with ease – all on one fluid communications and collaboration platform.
At Content+Cloud we have world-leading technical expertise and a long track record of delivering Microsoft Teams Voice consultancy services to organisations of all sizes. We can help you prepare, deploy, integrate, manage and optimise your phone system, transforming experiences for users today and beyond.
The cloud has revolutionised the way we work, providing the platform for greater flexibility, security and scalability. Many organisations now benefit from the collaboration and productivity benefits enabled by modern workplace tools such as Teams – but their phone systems haven’t followed suit.
Leaving behind your ageing PBX phone system will help you bring your calling capabilities into the new age – but it’s also a matter of increasing urgency. With the PSTN telephone network being switched off in the UK in 2025, organisations need to start thinking about going wholly digital – and the type of phone system they’ll need in the post-PSTN world.
Talk to us about the PSTN switch-off.Moving to a new system – and the urgency of change – may feel overwhelming. But Microsoft Teams Voice provides a solution that’s as simple as it is transformative.
At Content+Cloud we’ve helped organisations serving more than 120,000 users to seamlessly harness the benefits of a cloud-based phone system via Teams. As your partner in transformation, we’ll work closely with you to ensure Microsoft Teams Voice delivers a phone system that fits your needs and gives you lasting value.
Running your phone system in Teams will ensure you’re set for the PSTN switch-off. But you’ll also benefit from the evergreen nature of the cloud – no more waiting for maintenance or holding out for the latest features.
As your people are working through Teams, calling and collaboration will all happen in one place. If you need to integrate bespoke apps or introduce new forms and processes, we can help you with that too.
If you’re already using Teams, all you’ll need to do is add a Teams Phone licence from Microsoft, then your choice of calling plan. We can help you find a plan that suits you, either through our Microsoft Teams Direct Routing options or through Microsoft’s own calling plans.
To get started with calling in Teams, you’ll need a Microsoft 365 licence and the Teams Phone licence (already included in E5 licenses). Then you’ll need to choose between Microsoft Teams Direct Routing or a Microsoft Calling Plan.
The way it works is similar to your traditional PBX phone system – just without the clunky infrastructure typically seen on premises or at offsite providers. Microsoft Teams Voice provides full audio-conferencing capabilities, and your plan will give you the lines and numbers you need to start making and receiving calls.
If you’ve more bespoke or complex requirements – such as a busy reception or contact centre, compliance call recording or global calling – Content+Cloud is able to help you set up and manage the services you need using our Microsoft 365 and infrastructural expertise.
