Person-to-person calling
Skype for Business provides voice-over-IP (VoIP) calling over your network and the Internet to users in your company, Skype for Business users in other companies, and Skype consumer users around the world. Users can easily add video or content sharing to any call.
Dial by name, from Office
Reach people easily, when you need them, with a single touch or click from your contact list in Skype for Business, or the contact card in any Office application.
Skype connectivity
Connect, communicate, and collaborate with colleagues, consumers, other businesses, and friends and family—anyone who uses Skype—with both voice and HD video.
Anywhere access
Make and receive business calls in the office, at home, or on the road, using your business number on your smartphone, tablet, PC, or desk phone. With Office 365, your calls come to you.
Cloud PBX
Cloud PBX in Office 365 provides the features you need to eliminate traditional PBX systems and the associated costs.
Common calling features
Transfer, hold, and resume calls with a single touch. Let your assistant receive calls on your behalf. Answer calls for other people on your team when they’re unavailable.
Voice mail
Take advantage of built-in voice mail, integrated with Exchange, to quickly respond to missed calls.
Encryption by default
Protect your privacy and your intellectual property with built-in encryption, enabled by default. No VPN needed.
PSTN Calling from Microsoft
PSTN Calling from Microsoft enables users to call traditional phone numbers using Skype for Business, and enables companies to purchase phone numbers and calling plans as part of their Office 365 subscription.
Rapid provisioning
Get, assign, and use new phone numbers in minutes, for people in multiple locations, using the Office 365 admin portal. No need to run new phones lines or install equipment
Number porting
Use your existing phone numbers with Microsoft calling plans if desired, with local number porting built-in. Take advantage of automated online processing, or contact our team for assistance with large number porting requests.
Local, long distance, and international calling
Reach the people important to your business, with a choice of calling plans.
Cloud connectivity
Cloud Connectivity uses software on premises to connect existing telephone lines to Cloud PBX in Office 365. This allows customers to use Cloud PBX worldwide with calling services provided by the telco operator of their choice instead of using Microsoft PSTN calling.
Investment protection
Use existing telephone lines, phone numbers, and calling plans with Cloud PBX.
Deployment flexibility
All versions of Skype for Business Server software include cloud connectivity. Use an existing Skype for Business Server installation if available, or setup a new, small footprint deployment. Migrate some or all of your users to Cloud PBX while still taking advantage of your existing telephone lines and services.
