I shall now hand over the webinar to Chady. Chady, please.
Now that you have learned more about Teams and how it can improve your collaboration, I shall go into how Netpluz can further provide a more rounded communication using Teams
Let me start with “Why add PSTN capabilities to Teams”
Like Whatsapp on your social communication, Teams support communication among Teams users. That means, you can only text another Team user or make Teams to Teams call.
Adding PSTN capabilities provide you a means to call to external parties on their landline or mobile. You can even make international calls.
And of course you can receive incoming calls on your Teams app. I will show you via a simple demo at the end of this presentation.
Most important of all, You can CALL ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME on a single platform across multiple devices (Computer, Mobile, Teams-enabled phones)
So how to achieve that?
You probably already have O365 or M365 license which comes with MS Teams
You will then need to purchase an additional MS phone system icense to add PSTN voice
Subscribe to Netpluz SIP Trunk which will provide you with a new local number. Alternatively you can port your existing local number to Netpluz.
With this you will have a full cloud calling experience using Teams
If you want to add dial in numbers to your Teams meeting, you will need to purchase the audio conferencing license.
Once you add the PSTN capabilities, you basically get a dialer on your Teams app on your laptop and mobile. This will enable you to dial out to someone on their mobile or landline.
In addition, you get the list of PBX features as shown here. I will demo the Call Park features I find it useful when you want to continue a phone call between 2 different devices.
For example, if you received a call on Teams on your way to work, you will pick it up on your Teams on mobile. Once you reach office, you might want to continue the call on your computer. With call park, you can park your call and pick it up from your computer.
So, with a dialer integrated in Teams. You no longer need to install different app on your mobile for different purpose, giving you the flexibility of “Contactable on the GO”
So how does it work?
For Teams to Teams call, it is simply searching for the Teams users and click on the call button to establish a call. Media data traverse through the internet during the call.
For voice call to a mobile or landline, the Teams user keys in the number to call and Teams will establish a connection to Netpluz SIP trunk through MS Phone System. Once the call is established, the voice will travel through the same path to the other party’s phone.
Likewise when someone calls you on your local number, It will establish the call through Netpluz SIP trunk to MS Phone System.
Netpluz will handle all the integration required between your O365 tenant to our SIP Trunk during the implementation.
So in summary, what license do you need?
It depends on what license you have. If you are on M365 Business Plans or Enterprise E1 or E3, you will need to purchase additional phone license via your MS partner or Netpluz.
Add on the Netpluz SIP Trunk Adapter @ USD5 per user, you will be allocated with a new local number.
You can port your existing number to Netpluz, Porting fees applies.
With the local number, you can start making local and international calls via Netpluz SIP Trunk.
If you want to add in dial-in conference number, you can either upgrade to Business Voice (without calling plan or Audio Conferencing depending on what license you are currently subscribed to.
If you are on E5 license, you just need to subscribe to Netpluz SIP Trunk to enable voice on Teams.
You are good to go.
