Other Information

Voice Quality

The number of calls you can make at the same time using the Adaptive Collaboration service depends on the available bandwidth at your site. 

  • As an IP Telephony service, the quality of voice calls can be affected by the end-to-end connectivity. 
  • We do not guarantee the call quality on calls made through your Microsoft Operator Connect for Business service. 
  • During a power failure, you might not be able to use your service for calls, including Emergency '000' services or alarm services.

Public Directories

Your account address and account contact are used for the service address and customer contact details in the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) including for emergency use.  Should you wish to have these updated, you need to request this from Telstra or update your details in My Telstra. 

When you include an emergency address in the Microsoft Teams Administrator portal of your Microsoft tenancy (Emergency Address), this information is not provided to any emergency service provider for any purpose, including to ascertain the address of a User who calls Emergency ‘000’ service.  For the avoidance of doubt, any updates to the Emergency Address in Microsoft will not be reflected as a change to your service address in the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND).  Emergency call services will always ask the caller for their location in the first instance.

If you want your name, address or phone number shown in public directories, you can update your listing preferences in My Telstra.

FairPlay Policy

You need to follow our FairPlay Policy. Don’t use your service in a fraudulent, unreasonable or unacceptable way. Don't use it in a way that is bad for our network or causes significant congestion. 

We may take action if you don’t follow the Fair Use Policy, including suspending or cancelling your service.
