What is Teams phone?
- You make and receive calls in Teams.
- Teams is connected to the regular telephone network.
- Others receive calls from and call your landline number.
- The people you call or receive calls form do not need to have Teams. From the outside, it is not noticeable that UiO uses Teams for phone calls.
- You can use Teams for phone calls from a desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile as long as you are logged in with your UiO account.
Getting started
Faculty and staff who need landline phone functionality will have their Teams phone activated. If you do not have Teams phone but require landline phone functionality, please contact your closest manager.

UiO moves from traditional landline phones to Teams phone
Currently, UiO is purchasing landline telephony from SIKT, but SIKT will discontinue this service in the second half of 2025. Most others in the sector have already switched to telephony via Teams, and now UiO will join them. This is the most practical solution, and the move has been decided by the university director. The move to Teams telephony will begin as early as September and will take place faculty by faculty.
