FAQs

Operator Connect offers a way for organisations to provide access to the PSTN network from Microsoft Teams. As a cloud-based call centre solution, it ensures users can make and receive external phone calls from any device using Microsoft Teams.

While similar in many aspects, Direct Routing and Operator Connect do have some differences which are important to understand before you decide which option you’re going to use. Teams operator Connect uses the Teams admin centre to assign phone numbers and features, while direct routing requires specialist hardware and software to configure them, which often calls for IT support and more of a managed service.

Both offer advantages for businesses, and at Nasstar, we can support you with both options depending on your business goals and requirements. Contact our team today for more information.
