Make the bridge between Teams and your telephony with Telenet

Every day we use Microsoft Teams as a handy tool to video call, chat and share documents. But did you know you can also call people outside the organization? Both to mobile and landlines. So you only need one tool to make calls and work together efficiently.

Just like a classic telephone exchange

When it comes to telephony, as a user you need certain functionalities: setting up a voicemail, number recognition, transfer to a cell phone or colleague, etc. Also administrators often have specific needs. Think of calling groups, easy allocation of phone numbers or use of a choice menu.
