The Reality

Why Not Just Use Microsoft Calling Plans?

Microsoft Calling Plans work — but they come with premium pricing, limited geographic coverage, and no carrier flexibility. You pay Microsoft's rates, on Microsoft's terms.

AureVox's Direct Routing and Operator Connect solutions give you the full Teams calling experience at enterprise carrier rates, with the support and flexibility that Microsoft doesn't provide.
