Can Microsoft Teams replace my phone system?

Technically yes, with Teams Phone (formerly Direct Routing). But to use Teams as a full phone system, you need Microsoft 365 licensing (E5 or add-on Phone System license), SIP trunking from a third party, and Azure configuration. This adds complexity and cost. RingVersa is a purpose-built phone system that works out of the box — no additional licensing or technical configuration required.

Is RingVersa cheaper than Microsoft Teams Phone?

For most businesses, yes. RingVersa costs $14.95 per user per month with everything included. To get Teams Phone, you typically need a Microsoft 365 E5 license ($57/user/mo) or an add-on Phone System license ($8/user/mo) plus a calling plan ($12/user/mo) — and that's on top of your existing M365 subscription. RingVersa provides full phone functionality at a fraction of the cost.

Can I port my Microsoft Teams number to RingVersa?

Yes. RingVersa can port your existing phone numbers from Microsoft Teams Phone at no charge. The porting process typically takes 3–7 business days. You can continue using Teams Phone until the port completes, ensuring no downtime during the transition.

Does RingVersa integrate with Microsoft Teams?

RingVersa can coexist with Microsoft Teams. Many businesses use RingVersa for their phone system and Teams for collaboration and chat. RingVersa doesn't require Teams to function — it's a complete phone system on its own. But if your team already uses Teams for chat and file sharing, RingVersa handles the phone side seamlessly.

Deciding between RingVersa and Microsoft Teams for your business phone system?

RingVersa provides a complete phone system starting at $14.95 per user per month — no additional licensing, no Azure configuration, no third-party SIP required. Microsoft Teams Phone often requires Microsoft 365 E5 or add-on licenses that can cost $12–$30+ per user on top of your existing M365 subscription.
