Key Points about Teams and Phone Numbers

[roseline371274]

Microsoft Dynamics 365: A line of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications.
Microsoft Power Platform: A suite of low-code tools that allow users to build custom applications, automate workflows, and analyze data.
Let's examine each of these to determine if they offer a free phone number.

1. Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a central hub for communication and collaboration within organizations. While Teams offers robust calling features, including VoIP (Voice over IP) calls between Teams users, a standard free version of Microsoft Teams does not include the option to obtain a public switched telephone network (PSTN) phone number for making and receiving calls to and cambodia phone number list from regular phone lines.

The free version of Teams primarily focuses on internal team communication through chat, audio/video calls between Teams users, and file sharing. To gain access to features like calling to external phone numbers and receiving calls on a dedicated phone number within Teams, organizations typically need to subscribe to Microsoft 365 Business Voice or a similar Microsoft 365 plan that includes phone system capabilities. These are paid services and do not offer a free phone number.


Free Teams: Offers VoIP calling between Teams users but not PSTN calling or a dedicated phone number.
Microsoft 365 Business Voice: A paid add-on that provides phone numbers (local or toll-free), PSTN calling, auto attendants, call queues, and other advanced telephony features integrated within Teams. The phone number is part of the paid subscription, not free.
Teams Phone: A more comprehensive offering within certain Microsoft 365 enterprise plans that includes phone system capabilities and the option to obtain phone numbers. Again, this is part of a paid subscription.
2. Skype

Skype, a long-standing communication platform by Microsoft, offers both free and paid features. The basic Skype service, which allows free audio and video calls between Skype users over the internet, does not provide a free phone number that can be used to receive calls from regular phone lines or make calls to them.
