What is Microsoft Teams Direct Routing?

Microsoft Teams Direct Routing

While 90% of UK businesses use Microsoft Teams, many don’t realise there’s a more cost-effective alternative to Microsoft calling plans. Dial up the Teams experience using SIP trunks to route calls via our hyperfast, resilient network.

Call, chat and collaborate

Direct Routing lets you make and receive Teams calls at a much lower cost than the calling plans provided by Microsoft itself.

Elevate provides Microsoft Teams Direct Routing using SIP trunks, so you can quickly scale lines alongside your business growth, while supporting migration to VoIP infrastructure ahead of the PSTN switch off.

Effortless at every level

Centralised comms

Enable employees to make and receive voice calls from Microsoft Teams through one application, with no need to ‘click out’ to make calls.

Minimised cost

Let users enjoy the Microsoft services they’re used to, without the price tag. There’s no CapEx, line rental or ongoing maintenance costs, and migration is fast, simple and safe.

Ultimate accountability

We built our own network from the ground up. From spade in the ground to router installation, we own, manage and maintain the infrastructure, so we have complete control over monitoring and fixes.

Engineering excellence

Our own in-house civil, infrastructure and network engineers create end-to-end control of connections, from order through to activation.

Could your business benefit?

Microsoft Teams is the preferred voice, video and messaging platform of business. Our ultra-reliable network is the UK’s fastest. A match made in heaven – especially if you want to spend less.

You're cash-conscious...

Microsoft Teams is a wonderful business enabler, but their calling plans aren’t exactly cheap. Direct routing gives you the same experience, in a more cost-effective package.

Kind words from our clients.

“The connectivity across the studios has been solid. We’ve had no issues getting on to the internet, or with it dropping out. It’s always high speed, quick and reliable.”

“We get amazing service from our fibre, but it’s important for us that we have that backup with a radio wireless product. I’ve not had a circumstance where Elevate has not been able to deliver.”
