The Top 3 Reasons Why Customers Choose Callroute Over Microsoft Calling Plans

Per Tenant Minute Bundles, Not Per User
Unlike Microsoft Calling Plans that must be purchased on a per-user basis, Callroute calling plans are purchased per tenant and can be shared across all your users
- Buy only the minutes you need as a business
- Stop paying for minutes you never use
- Make significant costs savings vs per-user calling plans
Shared Minute Plans Across All Your Connected Platforms
If you have other calling platforms as well as Teams, you can share your minute bundles across all Callroute connected voice platforms, not just Teams
- Ultimate minute consumption optimization
- Single shared calling plan across all connected platforms
- High availability voice connectivity


Calling Doesn’t Stop When You’re Out Of Minutes
Unlike Microsoft Calling Plans, when your minute bundle has been consumed, calling does not stop. Automatically fall back to pay as you go for out of plan minutes until your monthly renewal date
- No need to preload credit for out of plan minutes
- Invoiced billing for pay as you go consumption
- Anti-fraud protection
