Microsoft Teams Phone is critical for customer-facing employees including contact centers, customer service, VIPs and the sales department. This is the main communication tool used to reach out to customers and partners.

But ensuring that no Direct Routing issue or Teams call audio quality issues are occurring challenging. It relies on multiple service providers and internal teams involved in Unified Communications (UC), the network and devices.

Session border controller (SBC), SIP Trunk and PSTN providers can affect Teams Phone call quality. The quality of calls made through Microsoft Teams depends on the quality of the ISP and internal network latency.  Regardless of whether they are supporting a Microsoft Calling Plan, Teams Direct Routing or Operator Connect service, the quality of service delivered by these provides matters to the Microsoft Teams user experience.

To ensure Microsoft Teams Phone user satisfaction you need end-to-end visibility on all of these components.
