Lingo Voice for Teams works in the background providing reliable, cost-effective phone service and calling plans designed around the needs of your business. Lingo connects to the Microsoft Teams Phone System via Direct Routing.
What is Direct Routing?
Direct Routing is a way to provide a PSTN (public switched telephone network) connection to Microsoft Teams users so that they can make and receive external phone calls on any device using Teams. Direct Routing is a feature in Microsoft Teams that enables Lingo to connect to a Session Border Controller (SBC) that in turn connects to the Teams service.
You can find a more detailed discussion on the importance of Direct Routing and how it works here.

The Microsoft Phone System provides traditional phone system and PBX features like caller ID, extension dialing, call forwarding, auto-attendant and call queues (also known as “hunt” or “ing” groups).
