Can Microsoft Teams replace a traditional Phone System? 

Yes, it can. Through its routing capabilities, organizations enable their users to make and receive PSTN calls without leaving their Microsoft Teams environment. This makes it easier and more seamless for your employees to interact with each other, customers, and partners. 

How does it work? 

Calls between users in your organization are handled internally within Teams Phone System, and never go to the Public Switched Telephone Network. This applies to calls between users in your organization located in different geographical areas. 

For calls outside your organization, Microsoft provides multiple options for connecting Phone System to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
