Teams Phone is a calling add-on. To run a real contact center on Microsoft, your IT admin assembles five licenses across two business units. Or buys one MCM Pro seat that ships everything.

Microsoft sells calling. We sell the platform around it. Below is the math (five licenses vs one), the four capabilities Teams Phone doesn't ship, and the honest places where staying inside Microsoft 365 is still the right call.
Five Microsoft licenses, or one of ours.
Same 25-seat contact center. Same yearly billing. We compare a real Microsoft assembly against MCM Pro.

Four capabilities Teams Phone doesn't ship — that you'll need.
Microsoft's answer to all four is "buy Dynamics + a partner ISV." Ours is "open the admin."
Native contact center
Teams Phone is calling. For routing, queues, and supervisor wallboard, Microsoft sends you to Dynamics 365 Contact Center — a separate $58/seat product on a different admin.
AI agents (voice + chat)
Copilot summarises Teams meetings. It does not greet callers, deflect web chats, or run agent assist. Our AI receptionist + chatbot are bundled in the Pro tier.
Outbound campaign engine
Microsoft has no native campaign engine. Teams that want one bolt on a partner ISV (Anywhere365, Solgari) or build it on Power Automate. We ship it on the same admin.
Omnichannel queue
Teams Phone is voice. Web chat, WhatsApp, and email require Dynamics 365 Customer Service or Microsoft Omnichannel — separate products, separate UI, separate price.
Side-by-side, line-by-line.
We score Teams Phone (TPS) standalone — not the whole Microsoft assembly. Lines marked "Dyn 365" or "Power VA" require additional Microsoft SKUs.
Where Teams Phone is the better pick.
We can't claim to win every category. Here are the three places where Teams Phone genuinely fits better than us — written before our sales team sees this page.
Microsoft 365 native integration
Teams, Outlook, Calendar, SharePoint, Copilot — Teams Phone is a tab away from all of them. If your office runs on M365 and calling is one of many lightweight needs, that integration is real and irreplaceable.
Procurement and licensing simplicity
Already paying Microsoft? Adding Teams Phone is one line item on the existing EA. New vendor relationships, security reviews, and DPAs are zero. That's worth real money to procurement.
Compliance and identity controls
Conditional access, DLP, AAD groups, and Sensitivity Labels apply to Teams Phone calls and chats automatically. For regulated orgs, we don't yet match that depth of identity-bound governance.
Two weeks from sign-up to four cancelled SKUs.
Most teams are fully migrated inside 14 days. Microsoft 365 stays — only the comms stack moves.
Sign up & invite team
Free trial activates instantly. AI receptionist, contact center, and the campaign engine provision on the same login — no Dynamics, no Power Automate, no third-party ISV.
Audit your Microsoft assembly
List every license today: M365, Teams Phone, Calling Plan, Dynamics CC, Power Automate, partner ISVs. Most teams find 4-6. Each becomes one MCM toggle.
Mirror routing in MCM admin
Recreate IVR, queues, ring groups in our admin wizard. The contact-center work that lived in Dynamics ports over in an afternoon.
Number port + agent cutover
Carrier handoff scheduled at 2 AM your local time. Zero downtime — old line forwards while new line activates with AI receptionist live.
Cancel Teams Phone + Dynamics CC
Keep M365 (you still need it). Cancel the four communication SKUs that MCM replaces — your free trial converts when you're ready.
Who should pick which?
Two honest persona picks — one for MCM, one for Teams Phone.
Sales floors and contact centers that outgrew Teams Phone.
- Contact centers that need routing, queues, and wallboards — Teams Phone sends you to Dynamics 365 CC at $58/seat.
- Sales orgs running outbound campaigns or predictive dialers — Microsoft has neither natively.
- Support teams with WhatsApp, web chat, and email queues — three more SKUs on Microsoft, one platform on us.
- Procurement teams tired of stitching 4-5 license SKUs to do what one MCM seat ships.
Microsoft-first IT teams whose calling needs are basic.
- Office staff whose primary tool is Teams meetings + chat, where calling is occasional and basic.
- Regulated orgs that depend on AAD conditional access, DLP, and Sensitivity Labels for every comm channel.
- Procurement-led buys where a single Microsoft EA matters more than feature depth or seat price.
Still shortlisting? Stack us against the next vendor.
The questions teams ask on the first call.
Can MCM replace Microsoft Teams as our phone system?expand_more
Yes — MCM is a full cloud phone system on its own, without needing Teams Phone add-ons or Direct Routing. You keep Teams for chat and meetings if you want; MCM handles calls, SMS, contact-center routing, and AI on a separate, purpose-built stack.
Is MCM cheaper than Microsoft Teams Phone?expand_more
For comparable phone-system functionality, yes — MCM's per-user cost is lower than the Teams Phone add-on stacked on top of an M365 plan, and MCM includes AI (transcription, sentiment, receptionist) that Teams Phone typically doesn't.
Does MCM work alongside Teams if we want to keep both?expand_more
Yes. Users can keep Teams for internal chat/meetings and route customer calls through MCM. Some teams also use MCM as the outbound-dialer + contact-center layer on top of a Teams-native internal directory.
How long does switching from Teams Phone to MCM take?expand_more
Same session for the core cutover — team live, calling in and out. Number porting from your Teams Phone carrier runs in the background over 5–10 business days with no downtime.
