Make Real Phone Calls
From Microsoft Teams in Australia

Your team already uses Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings. Click2Call adds one missing piece — the ability to call any phone number in Australia and receive calls on your business number, all from inside Teams. No new apps, no new hardware, no Microsoft Domestic Calling Plan required.

Key Takeaways

  • What it is: Click2Call Microsoft Teams Calling uses Direct Routing to connect Microsoft Teams to the Australian public telephone network via a full Cloud PBX. Every Teams user gets an Australian phone number, 300 outbound minutes, unlimited inbound calls, call recording, AI transcription, AI call summaries, sentiment analysis, voicemail-to-email, auto-attendant, and call queues — all included at $25.00/user/month (ex GST), paid to Click2Call.
  • What Microsoft charges separately: Each user also requires a Microsoft Teams Phone System Licence at $12.10/user/month, paid directly to Microsoft. This is not charged by Click2Call.
  • No lock-in: Click2Call operates on a prepaid credit model. There is no minimum contract, no minimum monthly spend, and no cancellation fee.
  • Data residency: All call recordings, transcripts, AI outputs, and account data are stored on infrastructure located in Australia and New Zealand. Click2Call does not use offshore servers.
  • Number porting: Existing Australian landline, 1300, and 1800 numbers can be ported to Click2Call and used with Microsoft Teams. The porting process typically takes 5–10 business days.

Teams Is Great — But It Can’t Call Phones Yet

Microsoft Teams is great for chatting with your team, sharing files, and jumping on a video call. But out of the box it can’t do one thing — call a regular phone number. You can’t ring a customer’s mobile, call a supplier, or receive a call from someone dialling your business number.

Click2Call fixes that. We connect your Teams account to the real phone network so your team can call and receive calls from any number in Australia — directly inside the Teams app they already use every day. Nothing changes for them except a dial pad appears.

How It Works

Three things connect together. That’s it.

1. Your Teams App

Your team keeps using Teams exactly as they do now. A dial pad appears and they can make and receive calls like a normal phone.

2. Click2Call Connects Them

We link your Teams account to our Australian phone network. This is the bridge that lets Teams talk to real phone numbers.

3. Any Phone Number in Australia

Once connected, your team can call any landline or mobile in Australia — and customers can call your business number and reach them in Teams.

This approach — called Direct Routing — is Microsoft-approved. It replaces Microsoft's Domestic Calling Plan (which isn't available at an affordable price in Australia) with a local provider like Click2Call.

More Than a Phone Number — A Full Cloud PBX Inside Teams

Most Teams calling providers give you a SIP trunk and a number. Click2Call gives you a full Cloud PBX — with Microsoft Teams as the interface. That means every Teams user gets the complete Click2Call feature set included at no extra cost.

What Does Microsoft Teams Calling Actually Cost?

There are three things you need to make calls from Teams. Two are paid to Microsoft, one is paid to Click2Call. Here is exactly what each one does and what it costs.

Before you start: You need a Microsoft 365 Business plan that includes Microsoft Teams (for example, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, or Premium). A personal Microsoft 365 subscription will not work — Teams calling requires a business plan. If your team already uses Teams for chat and meetings, you almost certainly have this already.

Paid to Microsoft

Microsoft Teams Phone System Licence

This is the licence that unlocks the dial pad inside Teams. Without it, Teams has no phone functionality at all — you can chat and video call your colleagues, but you cannot call a real phone number. It does not include an Australian number or local calling — that is what Click2Call provides.

$12.10 /user/month

Included in Microsoft 365 E5, or available as an add-on to any Microsoft 365 Business plan. Paid directly to Microsoft.

Paid to Click2Call

Microsoft Teams User

This gives you an Australian phone number and connects it to Teams via Direct Routing. It includes 300 minutes of outbound calling and unlimited inbound calling. Microsoft does not offer local Australian numbers or affordable local calling in Australia — Click2Call provides both.

$25.00 /user/month (ex GST)

Paid to Click2Call. Includes your Australian number, 300 outbound minutes, and unlimited inbound calls.

Cost Component (per user/month) Paid to Amount
Microsoft 365 Business Plan (must include Teams — Business Basic, Standard, or Premium) Microsoft Varies by plan
Microsoft Teams Phone System Licence (required to enable the dial pad in Teams) Microsoft $12.10/month
Microsoft Teams User (Australian number + 300 outbound mins + unlimited inbound) Click2Call $25.00/month (ex GST)
Estimated Fixed Monthly Cost (per user, excl. M365 plan) From $37.10/month (ex GST)

Microsoft pricing sourced from microsoft.com, February 2026. Subject to change. The Microsoft Teams Phone System Licence is paid directly to Microsoft — Click2Call does not charge for this. Click2Call charges $25.00/month per user for the Microsoft Teams User plan, which includes 300 outbound minutes and unlimited inbound calls. Microsoft does not currently offer local Australian numbers or local calling in Australia.

Common Questions

Direct Routing is the way Click2Call connects your Microsoft Teams to real phone numbers. It’s a Microsoft-approved method that lets your team call any landline or mobile in Australia — and receive calls on your business number — all from inside Teams.

Yes. Each Teams user needs a Microsoft 365 licence that includes the Phone System add-on. Click2Call provides the phone number and the connection to the phone network. Microsoft provides the software side. Contact us if you’re not sure which licence you have — we can check.

Microsoft Calling Plans are Microsoft's own calling service, which can be expensive and are not always available in all Australian regions. Direct Routing uses a third-party provider like Click2Call to supply the calling capability, which is typically 40–60% cheaper than Microsoft Calling Plans and offers more flexibility, including Australian local numbers and 1300 numbers.

Yes. Click2Call supports full number porting, so you can transfer your existing Australian landline or 1300 numbers to our platform and use them with Microsoft Teams. The porting process typically takes 5–10 business days and is managed by our team.

No additional hardware is required. Your team can make and receive calls directly from the Microsoft Teams desktop app, mobile app, or a Teams-certified desk phone. If you prefer physical handsets, we can supply compatible Teams-certified IP phones.

Yes. Click2Call's Microsoft Teams Direct Routing service is available to any Australian business with a stable internet connection, regardless of location. We provide Australian local numbers for all major cities and regions, as well as 1300 and 1800 numbers.

If you set it up yourself using our portal, it usually takes about 30 minutes once you have your number. If you choose our managed setup service ($50 per user, one-time), we handle everything and have you running within 1–2 business days.

Microsoft Teams requires approximately 100 kbps per concurrent call. A standard NBN connection is more than sufficient for most businesses. We recommend a connection with low jitter and latency for the best call quality. Our team can advise on network requirements during the setup process.
