This lets your team make and receive external calls directly within Teams, without relying on Microsoft’s default calling plans.

What is Microsoft Teams Direct Routing?

Direct Routing is a method of connecting Microsoft Teams to the public telephone network using a SIP trunk, instead of subscribing to Microsoft’s calling plans. By integrating your existing telephony infrastructure (on-premise or cloud-based) with Teams, you gain the flexibility to retain your current carrier, reduce costs, and customize your setup based on business needs. With Direct Routing, Teams becomes a complete business-grade phone system—supporting inbound and outbound calling, call queues, voicemail, auto-attendants, and more.

Why Choose MAK Group for Teams Direct Routing?

At MAK Group, we specialise in secure, enterprise-ready voice solutions. Our Direct Routing service is fully managed, scalable, and optimised for local compliance in the UAE.

Our approach reduces downtime, maximises call quality, and gives you full control over your voice environment. You get a seamless PSTN calling experience inside Teams, backed by a trusted provider.
