Microsoft licenses
In order to be able to use Microsoft Teams fully and make phone calls with it, every company needs one or more licenses for Microsoft 365 or Office 365. Usually the additional, chargeable add-on Microsoft Teams Phone is also required for the use of Direct Routing. This add-on replaces its two predecessors, Phone System and Business Voice, as of February 2022.
Here you can see the most common license combinations. In our help center you can find more information about Microsoft's licenses.
| Basis | Version | additional Add-on |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Business | Basic / Standard / Premium | Teams Phone |
| Microsoft 365 | F1 / F3 | Teams Phone |
| Office 365 | F3 | Teams Phone |
| Microsoft 365 / Office 365 | E1 / E3 | Teams Phone |
| Microsoft 365 / Office 365 | E5 | Teams Phone incl. |
Easy configuration in the customer portal
To successfully set up the Teams Connector, you need an active SIP trunk, suitable Microsoft licenses, and an account with admin rights. Once these requirements have been met, there is nothing standing in the way of the initial setup:
- Simply enter your Microsoft Teams account login details in the easybell customer portal.
- You can then assign a SIP Trunk phone number to each user account of the Teams instance.
- And just like that, incoming and outgoing telephony from Microsoft Teams with easybell phone numbers is possible!

Questions
In the Teams Connector, you can use not only SIP trunks from easybell. Alternatively, there is a growing number of certified SIP trunks from third-party providers that you can also integrate into the Teams Connector.
If your provider is not yet available for selection, you can easily enter the access data for your SIP trunk using our generic template. This way you can integrate almost all SIP trunks from all over the world.
detailed viewIn Microsoft Teams (MS Teams for short) or Teams Phone, only one phone number can be assigned to a user at a time.
However, this restriction can be circumvented for incoming calls with call forwarding. To do this, you simply need to forward each additional phone number to the phone number assigned to the user.
If you use a call number block with easybell, you can easily outsource individual extensions and then configure them with such call forwarding.
These virtual extensions can be set up and configured in just a few steps.
detailed viewThe Microsoft Office suite in general and the Teams software are not rigid products. Rather, they are always a combination of different licenses that determine the actual range of features.
For example, if you want to use Microsoft Teams not only for internal company communication and cooperation, but also to make phone calls over the local network (PSTN), you usually need the additional paid add-on "Teams Phone", which must be booked separately for each seat that is to be able to make phone calls later.
With the following license combinations, you can extend your Microsoft Teams with telephone functions and thus obtain a real solution for Unified Communications (UC).
detailed viewThe Teams Connector from easybell is an interface between your Microsoft Teams account and your SIP Trunk. This enables you to make incoming and outgoing calls from a Teams client via the SIP Trunk, meaning you can integrate external telephony into your UCC solution. This brings with it many benefits. In order to set up and use the Teams Connector correctly, certain components must be in place.
detailed viewAccording to Microsoft, it can take up to 24 hours from the last setup step of the Teams Connector to the complete implementation of the settings in Teams in individual cases. Only then can you make outgoing calls with Teams via easybell.
You can use the following indicators in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center to check how far your settings have already been implemented:
detailed viewYou can switch the mode of your SIP trunks in the customer portal under "Phone settings" > "Manage numbers". One of the modes available is "PBX" for the easybell Cloud Telefonanlage. If, on the other hand, you want to connect your SIP trunk to another PBX or to Microsoft Teams via the Teams Connector, you must use the "Trunk" mode. Therefore, parallel operation of the Cloud Telefonanlage and the Teams Connector is not possible at this time.
However, we are working to make both systems compatible with each other so that you can use Microsoft Teams as a device for the Cloud Telefonanlage.
As soon as this is possible, we will provide instructions in our help section as well as in our newsletter.
