Information about the service

Teams Connect combines the power of Microsoft 365 and upstream's expertise in telecommunications. The solution allows you to get your business calls and team collaboration on the same platform. Your teams will be able to make and receive calls, communicate via chat, video calls and conferencing to people inside and outside your workplace using a single system - rather than using different tools for different calls.

What Is Included:

This Teams Connect plan includes calls to Local/STD calls and calls to Australian Mobiles. It also includes free upstream to upstream calls.

What Is Not Included:

Your plan does not include 13/1300 numbers, international calls and premium service numbers. Charges to these services will apply and are outlined below. This plan does not include any handsets or other hardware or equipment.

SIP-Compatible and Teams Compitable VoIP Handset(s) Required

In order to use this service, you will need VoIP telephone handset(s) or software compatible with the SIP protocol. upstream recommends using this service with handsets purchased from the online shop at shop.upstreamtech.io to ensure that you have a compatible and supported device. Alternatively, you may provide your own SIP compatible VoIP equipment or software. 

Microsoft 365 Business Voice (without calling plan) License Required

In order to use this service, you will need a Microsoft 365 Business Voice (without calling plan) license per user who is wanting to make and/or receive calls on Teams. You can purchase this license via upstream. Alternatively, you may purchase this through an alternative provider of your choice.

Additional Fair Use Terms on Freedom PBX Plans:

Included calls are subject to fair use. Fair use of the upstream Freedom PBX means that you must not use service in an unreasonable or fraudulent manner, or in a way that detrimentally interferes with the integrity of the upstream network.

This service is intended to be used in a way that is consistent with a typical business’ calling usage, according to statistical information known to upstream. If we determine that your use of the service or it’s features is at any time inconsistent with the normal inbound or outbound usage patterns for the type of service or plan that you have purchased, we have the right to suspend or discontinue service. Examples of inconsistent usage patterns include, but are not limited to, using the service in an outbound call center, for telemarketing, or for providing telehealth services.

This plan can only have single-user devices such as Yealink and Cisco VoIP Phones connected to Hosted PBX Extensions only. SIP Trunking is not included and no PBX systems (Asterisk, 3CX etc) or other line-sharing devices are permitted on Freedom plans. Connection of a PBX or line-sharing device, or a configuration that results in line sharing will result in account suspension and cancellation of the account.

We may take action if you breach this policy, including suspending or cancelling your service. We reserve the right to enact such actions for any reason, at our own discretion, without notice to you.
