Teams Phone for Boston Offices
If your Boston office already runs on Microsoft Teams, the cheapest phone system is the one you own: Teams Phone with Direct Routing adds PSTN dial tone inside the Teams app your staff opens every morning — no new platform to learn, no second vendor to call. We handle numbers, SBC hosting, devices, and carrier bids across 200+ providers.
Financial District to Seaport to Back Bay, lawyers to lenders to labs: one Teams client for chat, video, and calls, with same-day on-site from Andover, Mon–Fri 8:00am–6:00pm ET at (617) 468-1325.
Boston use case: a 45-user advisory firm downtown pays for Teams licenses and a separate legacy phone system. We add Direct Routing with a cloud SBC (~$150/mo), port 45 DIDs over a weekend, and retire the old PBX — per-user cost lands at $12–$22 over their existing M365 spend. The math is in our Teams Direct Routing guide.
