FAQ

Teams Direct Routing - frequently asked questions

  • What is Microsoft Teams Direct Routing?
    Direct Routing connects your own SBC infrastructure to Microsoft Teams for PSTN connectivity. It offers full control over routing, calling plans, and compliance policies.
  • What's the difference with Calling Plans and Operator Connect?
    Calling Plans are Microsoft-only bundles. Operator Connect is a Microsoft-certified operator integration without your own SBC. Direct Routing gives you full control via your own or Momentum-managed SBC.

    Maximum flexibility in routing and calling plans, support for GCC High environments, integration with existing PBX systems, and global coverage with local numbers in 70+ countries.

    A certified SBC (Momentum delivers this as managed service), Teams Phone licenses per user, a Microsoft 365 E5 or equivalent, and correctly configured DNS and certificate setup.
  • How do I enable Direct Routing for users?
    After SBC connection, users are provisioned individually or in groups via PowerShell or the Teams Admin Center. Momentum automates this via a central provisioning portal.
  • Is Direct Routing suitable for high availability?
