Why It’s a Smarter, More Cost-Effective Choice:

Microsoft recently raised its Teams Phone licensing and calling plan fees, pushing many users into premium territory with limited flexibility. By comparison, Teams Connect offers:

  • Core calling functionality that’s 30-40% more affordable; with more optional features you can add on.
  • Supportive migration and service onboarding, including migrations, number porting, configuration, and end-user support, things Microsoft typically doesn’t provide directly.
What You Get (Even with the Entry Plan)

Even starting at the $3.49 tier, Teams Connect enables essential communication capabilities:

Voice calling – within Teams via Direct Routing, Operator Connect, or hybrid setups.
  • e911 and DID coverage in the USA and Canada.
  • Flexible billing via buckets of minutes or usage-based plans.

Beyond that, you can enhance your setup with à la carte add-ons such as:

  • SMS/MMS messaging inside Teams
  • Call recording for compliance and training
  • Attendant console for efficient call handling
  • Contact center integration for elevated customer support
  • Slack bridge to synchronize Teams and Slack communications
Sample Scenario: Ideal for Small or Growing Organizations

Imagine you’re a startup or a small business:

  • You onboard 10 users. For just $34.90/month plus usage, they can make and receive calls directly within Teams.
  • Additions like SMS or recording? Easy to tack on only when you need them.
  • As you scale and call volumes grow, you can upgrade to unlimited calling at $8.95/user/month—no migrations, no hassle.
  • Your team stays fully on Teams, reducing app overload and boosting productivity.
Bottom line:

If you’re looking for cost-effective, scalable voice capabilities inside Microsoft Teams, Teams Connect’s $3.49 starting plan is a smart, flexible choice. Add only what you need, save on licensing, and keep everything unified within Teams.
