Spyderweb Communications

Microsoft Teams Calling

Replace your legacy phone system with a unified communications platform built into the tools your team already uses every day.

Businesses across Tacoma, Puyallup, and the greater Puget Sound are retiring their aging PBX systems and moving voice communications into Microsoft Teams. The reason is straightforward: when chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and phone calls all live in a single application, your team communicates faster and your IT stack gets simpler. Spyderweb Communications has been guiding that transition since Microsoft first introduced Teams calling capabilities, and our 20+ years of telephony and IT experience means we understand both the network engineering and the business workflow side of the equation.

Moving to Teams Phone eliminates the maintenance contracts, hardware refresh cycles, and per-line charges that come with traditional phone systems. Your employees get a single number that rings on their laptop, desk phone, and mobile device simultaneously. Calls transfer seamlessly between devices mid-conversation. And because everything runs through your Microsoft 365 tenant, user provisioning, security policies, and compliance controls are managed from the same admin center you already know.

Whether you need a full Calling Plan from Microsoft, prefer Direct Routing through your own carrier, or want an Operator Connect solution, we design the architecture that fits your budget and call volume. Our Teams calling deployments integrate with your broader business phone solutions, managed IT services, and remote work solutions to create a seamless communications experience from end to end.

Teams Calling Capabilities We Deploy

Enterprise-grade telephony features configured for businesses in Tacoma, Lakewood, and University Place.

Teams Phone System

A fully integrated cloud PBX built directly into Microsoft Teams. Your team makes and receives calls using the same app they already use for chat and meetings, with enterprise-grade call quality, E911 support, and centralized administration.

Direct Routing

Connect your existing SIP trunks or preferred carrier to Microsoft Teams through certified Session Border Controllers. Direct Routing gives you full control over call paths, carrier selection, and cost management while keeping Teams as the user-facing interface.

Auto Attendants

Professional automated greetings that route callers to the right department or person without a receptionist. We configure multi-level menus, business-hours schedules, holiday handling, and after-hours routing tailored to your exact call flow.

Call Queues

Distribute incoming calls across teams fairly and efficiently. Our call queue configurations include overflow routing, wait-time announcements, agent opt-in/opt-out, and real-time queue dashboards so managers always know what is happening.

Voicemail & Transcription

Cloud-based voicemail with automatic transcription delivered straight to Outlook and Teams. Your staff reads messages instead of listening to them, speeding up response times and creating a searchable archive of every call that was missed.

Teams Rooms

Purpose-built conference room experiences powered by Microsoft Teams. We design, deploy, and manage Teams Rooms systems that make joining meetings as simple as tapping a single button, whether participants are in the office or working remotely.

Why Move to Teams Calling?

  • One platform for chat, calls, and meetings. Stop toggling between a desk phone, a video app, and a chat client. Teams unifies every communication channel into a single interface your employees already use, reducing context-switching and boosting productivity.
  • Significant cost savings. Eliminating legacy PBX hardware, trunk lines, and maintenance contracts typically saves businesses 30–50% on telephony costs. With per-user licensing and no on-premises equipment to maintain, your phone budget becomes predictable.
  • True mobility for your workforce. Every employee carries their business phone number on their smartphone, laptop, and tablet. Whether they are in the Tacoma office, at home, or traveling, they never miss a call and never expose a personal number.
  • Enterprise reliability. Microsoft's global cloud infrastructure delivers 99.99% uptime SLAs. Combined with our network assessment and QoS configuration, you get call quality that matches or exceeds traditional landlines.
  • Backed by 20+ years of local expertise. Spyderweb Communications has been deploying telephony solutions for Puget Sound businesses since 2003. We handle the migration, number porting, user training, and ongoing management so the transition is seamless for your team. Need a Cisco-native option? Explore our Cisco Webex Calling services.
