Microsoft Teams phones and SIP interoperability

There are two honest ways to answer the question of which phones work with Microsoft Teams. One is a native device running the Teams client, which Microsoft lists itself. The other is a standards-based SIP telephone sitting on a SIP phone system that is joined to the Teams environment over a documented SIP interface — and that is the route this catalogue can document, because the requirements are protocol requirements: registration, TLS signalling, SRTP media, a matching DTMF method, a codec set and a provisioning path. This page sets out that route, the phones that fit it, and the exact point where only the platform's own published list can answer.

  • Two routes separated plainly: native Teams devices are listed by Microsoft; standards-based SIP phones are documented by their protocol requirements
  • SIP route requirements: registration on port 5060 by default, UDP or TCP transport, TLS signalling and SRTP media where encryption is enforced
  • DTMF must match the platform setting — In-band, RFC2833 or SIP INFO — and RFC2833 is the documented standard method
  • Codecs published across the catalogue: G.711U/A, G.722, G.729A/B, G.726, iLBC and Opus, with G.729 named where bandwidth is limited
  • Desk positions covered from 2 SIP lines to 20, with headset support, EHS adapters, USB and Bluetooth headsets and cordless DECT or Wi-Fi handsets
  • No model on this site is described as Microsoft Teams certified, and NEXVIA is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft

The short answer

A Microsoft Teams phone position can be filled in two ways, and only one of them is a phone we can document honestly. The first is a native Teams device — a desk phone that runs the Teams client itself; Microsoft publishes and maintains the list of those devices, and this site does not repeat or extend it. The second is a standards-based SIP telephone on a SIP phone system that is connected to the Teams environment at a documented SIP interface, configured by whoever administers the tenant. The SIP route is what this page documents, because every requirement in it is a protocol requirement we can quote.

On that SIP route the handset has to register as a SIP extension with the server address, username, password and display name, on port 5060 by default, with signalling over UDP or TCP and TLS where encryption is enforced; media should support SRTP. DTMF has to match the platform setting — In-band, RFC2833 or SIP INFO. The audio path has to carry the codec set in use: G.711 for plain compatibility, G.722 and Opus for wideband, G.729 where bandwidth is tight — and the catalogue publishes those codecs across desk phones, wireless handsets and the GA10 gateway.

What follows from that: the shortlist is built from published capability rather than from a certification claim. Desk phones publish 2 to 20 SIP lines, key fields up to 116 on-screen DSS keys for presence and speed dialling, headset ports and EHS wireless-headset support, dual Gigabit ports with PoE, and provisioning over DHCP option 66, TR069/TR104/TR106 and SIP PnP. Tell us the tenant configuration your Teams administrator has chosen and the extension count, and the model shortlist and the current facts are confirmed on the quotation.

Capability matrix — what the platform actually uses

CapabilityModels in the catalogueWhat it means when the phone registers
Colour-screen desk phones with key fieldsX6U, X5U, X4U, X3U / X3U Pro, X210 and the V Series modelsMultiple SIP accounts with 30 to 106 DSS keys for presence, park and pickup; dual Gigabit ports with integrated PoE; EHS wireless-headset support published across the range, which is what a headset-based position needs
Android touch-screen phonesX7A, A320, A320i, A330i, A308iAndroid 9.0 or Android 14 on screens from 7 inches to 10.1 inches, with third-party application installation stated for some models and an open SDK/API on the A330i; whether a client application is deployed on a phone is a platform-side decision, and the SIP behaviour is the same standards-based behaviour as the rest of the range
Headset-first and call-handling positionsX2P; EHS20, BT20, DH401B, DH301B, DH602B, HT301-U / HT302-UThe X2P publishes 2 SIP lines with RJ9 and 3.5 mm headset ports and a pedal-switch option; the accessory list adds USB and Bluetooth headsets and the EHS switch that lifts a wireless headset off the hook — headset-to-software compatibility is confirmed by the application vendor, not claimed here
Wireless handsetsW610D with W710D / W710H bases; W610W, W611W, W620WDECT for engineered coverage — up to 30 handsets per base and 300 per system — or Wi-Fi handsets that ride the site network, with up to 16 DSS keys and a push-to-talk key for quick dial, intercom and multicast
Conference and room positionsCA600, CA400, CA200, CS20, CS40Conference terminals and speakerphones for meeting rooms, registered on the same SIP system as the desks; the CA600 publishes a 12-microphone array over 360 degrees with dual 10 W speakers and a dual-camera option
Analog telephones, door stations and pagingGA10; A12/A12V, i16S, i11S, i10S; PA3, PA2S; A212, A201Keep an analog telephone, a door station or an existing speaker line on the same dial plan: the GA10 has 2 SIP lines and 1 FXS port, the stations register as standard SIP endpoints with door-release relays, and the paging gateways output 10–30 W mono to a speaker line
Shared-area and room handsetsH Series — H6W, H5/H5W, H4/H4W, H3/H3W, H2U, H1, H603W2 SIP lines with 2 to 10 programmable service keys and customisable faceplates for rooms, reception points and service areas; the cordless and Wi-Fi models cover positions with no data outlet

The two routes to a Teams phone position

A native device runs the Teams client on the phone itself. That device category, its firmware programme and the list of models that are on it all belong to Microsoft; the list is published by Microsoft, changes over time, and is the only authoritative source for it. This site does not repeat it, and NEXVIA does not claim that any phone in this catalogue is on it.

The second route is the one this catalogue serves directly: a standards-based SIP telephone registered to a SIP phone system, with the two environments joined at a documented SIP interface configured by the tenant administrator. On that route the phone side is a protocol question, and the protocol requirements are the ones this page lists — the same requirements whether the system behind the phone is our own IP PBX or a platform the buyer already runs.

  • Native device route: the device list, the client and the firmware programme belong to Microsoft; check them there
  • SIP route: a standard SIP desk phone or wireless handset on a SIP phone system, joined at a documented SIP interface
  • The phone-side requirements are identical on both routes: registration, transport, encryption, DTMF, codecs, keys, provisioning
  • Tell us which route your administrator has chosen and the answer is a model shortlist against published figures, not a badge

What the SIP route asks of the telephone

The table maps each requirement to the published figure behind it. The third column is what this catalogue and the platform documentation state; none of it is a statement about the Microsoft device programme.

Where the platform list ends and our documentation begins

Microsoft publishes its own certified-device programme and list for Teams phones. That list belongs to Microsoft, it is versioned, and it is the authoritative answer to whether a device is a Teams phone. NEXVIA does not hold it, does not extend it, and does not describe any phone in this catalogue as a Teams phone or as Teams certified.

What NEXVIA can do is document the other half: the SIP protocol requirements a telephone must satisfy, the manufacturer figures behind each one, and the current firmware position at the moment of quotation. On a project, that splits cleanly into a tenant-side question for the Teams administrator and a phone-side question for us.

  • Tenant side: which voice-connectivity option the organisation uses, and which phones the platform lists for it — answered by Microsoft's documented programme and the administrator
  • Phone side: registration, transport, encryption, DTMF, codecs, keys, PoE and provisioning — documented on this page with the published figures
  • Firmware moves: a position true for one release may differ for the next, so it is confirmed at quotation time
  • Never assumed: no certification claim, no partnership claim, no invented feature list for the platform

If a project depends on a native Teams device, say so at the start: we will tell you plainly that the list belongs to Microsoft and help you check the requirement, rather than quote a model against it.

If the SIP phone system is part of the project

The SIP route needs a SIP phone system behind the phones, and NEXVIA supplies and integrates one. The OM series spans 24 to 1000 SIP trunks across five models, with analog ports from none to ninety-six, dual hot standby on the OM1000-UC and a documented platform-compatibility sentence that names CallManager, Broadsoft, Skype for Business, Huawei IMS and Asterisk.

That sentence comes from the OM series administrator manual and is quoted as the manual prints it. It is the manufacturer's statement about the platform, not a list this site extends — and it is the reason a standards-based phone can be expected to behave predictably when the system behind it changes.

  • 24 to 1000 SIP trunks; up to 120 concurrent calls per trunk on the OM20G and OM200G, up to 200 on the OM1000-UC
  • SIP trunk types: direct, registration and registered-by, with TLS on the trunk side and SRTP selectable for media
  • Analog ports up to 4 / 12 / 48 / 96 by model, for the phones, fax machines and door lines that stay analog
  • Hot standby on the OM1000-UC: two paired units, automatic takeover with a 10-second health heartbeat by default, so calls survive a unit failure
  • Recording in G.711 and G.729, voicemail, auto attendant with time-of-day routing, and ring groups of up to 40 members

Frequently asked questions

Are the phones on this site Microsoft Teams certified devices?

No. Devices that run the Teams client natively are listed by Microsoft in its own certified-device programme, and that programme and list belong to Microsoft; this site does not claim that any phone in the catalogue is on it. What this page does is document the second route — a standards-based SIP telephone on a SIP phone system — and the protocol requirements it has to meet.

Can an ordinary SIP desk phone be used in a Microsoft Teams environment?

That depends on the voice architecture the tenant administrator has chosen and the connectivity options Microsoft documents for it — it is a tenant-side decision and the Microsoft documentation is authoritative. From the phone side, what matters is standard SIP registration, TLS signalling and SRTP media, a matching DTMF method, the codec set and a provisioning path, and those are documented for every model on this page. Send the tenant design and the extension count and we will confirm the phone-side shortlist on the quotation.

Which protocols and codecs matter most?

Registration on port 5060, signalling over UDP or TCP with TLS where encryption is enforced, SRTP for media, DTMF matching the platform setting (In-band, RFC2833 or SIP INFO), and a codec set that includes G.711 and, for wideband, G.722 or Opus. G.729 is the documented choice where bandwidth is limited. The catalogue publishes all of these across the desk, wireless and gateway ranges.

How do the phones get provisioned?

Configuration is either pushed or entered on the phone. The pushed path is documented as auto provisioning over DHCP option 66, TR069/TR104/TR106 and SIP PnP; the manufacturer material also names its distributed provisioning and device-management services. The manual path is the phone's own web interface — server address, username, password and display name. Both are used on real projects; the choice is made per site.

Do you supply headsets that work with a softphone client?

We supply USB and Bluetooth headsets and the EHS adapter that lifts a wireless headset off the hook, from the accessory range documented alongside the phones. Whether a particular headset is listed for a particular client application is decided by that application vendor and is confirmed there — this site does not claim it. For call-handling positions the X2P publishes RJ9 and 3.5 mm headset ports and a pedal-switch option.

Can one telephone run on two systems during a changeover?

Where a phone publishes several SIP accounts it can hold registrations on more than one system, which is how a phased changeover is often run: cut over a floor or a department at a time and keep both dial plans alive in between. The catalogue publishes line counts from 2 to 20; tell us the models and the two systems and we will confirm the exact arrangement for each model before it is relied on.

Do you publish a compatibility list of your own?

No. The one compatibility sentence this site prints is quoted from the OM series administrator manual — CallManager, Broadsoft, Skype for Business, Huawei IMS and Asterisk — and it is attributed as the manufacturer's statement. Platform device lists belong to the platform vendors and are checked there, version by version; NEXVIA confirms the current position at quotation time.
