MS Teams - Support Scope

Microsoft CSP Support

CallTower supports any license that are purchased through our CSP program for the full term of the Commitment (Subscription).  There are generally three types of Microsoft customers; Full CSP, Voice Only CSP, and Non-CSP. Though the support lines may sometimes blur between those customer types and the need for addressing customers and escalations properly, we can generally say what is supported for each customer type.

For CallTower to be considered the "CSP", at a minimum all Teams Phone Standard licensing would need to be with CallTower (Voice Only CSP).
