Features & Benefits of SIP Gateway
SIP Gateway connects compatible SIP devices to Teams to help your users migrate seamlessly to Teams telephony. Using SIP Gateway, your users can do all of the following:
- Make calls
- Receive calls
- Multiple simultaneous calls
- Do not disturb
- Hold/Resume and Mute/Unmute
- Voicemail
- Message waiting indicator
- Sign-in and sign-out
- Dual-tone multi-frequency
- Teams meetings NOTE: Adding a Teams meeting participant via “request to join” currently won’t alert a SIP device.
- Call transfers:
- Local call forwarding
Requirements
- Users must be licensed for Teams Phone (via Office 365 E5, Microsoft 365 E5 or a standalone license)
- PSTN enablement (i.e., phone number assigned) via a Microsoft Teams Calling Plan, Direct Routing, or Operator Connect
- Common area devices require a Common Area Phone license
