What you can do with our Microsoft Teams Direct Routing provider solution?

Save 40% over Microsoft Calling Plans

Enterprises typically save an average of 40% when they power telephony with Direct Routing. Duet for Microsoft Teams lets you create your own custom calling plan built for Direct Routing, all to help you save even more by pooling usage across users.



Migrate with a partner who’s just easier to work with

The Bandwidth support experience means you have a migration partner, not just a provider. From a dedicated onboarding specialist that helps execute on your project plan, to 24/7 NOC and expert support teams, we’re here to guide you through and accelerate your migration.

Verify dynamic location routing with 933 testing

RAY BAUM’s Act requires a dispatchable location—the street address plus additional data like floor, suite, and room. Make sure your dynamic location routing meets compliance standards without burdening 911 with live testing calls—only when you use Bandwidth’s 933 testing capabilities.


Easily manage your numbers from one platform

When you migrate your numbers to the Bandwidth platform, you can control all of your telephony from a single source. Manage your numbers across Microsoft Teams, Cisco, Genesys, RingCentral, and beyond—all without disruption.
