Ribbon Connect for Microsoft Teams Direct Routing provides a frictionless way to add dial tone to Teams, enabling native Teams calling. Users can make or receive phone calls from anywhere on almost any device. Organizations can use Teams as their primary phone system or integrate it with existing PBXs/phones and contact centers to protect existing investments and business workflows.
