Microsoft Teams Calling Plans
Domestic Calling Plan
The Domestic Calling Plan is designed for licenced users within Microsoft 365 or Office 365. Here are the key features:
- Outgoing Calls: Users can make calls to numbers located within the country or region where they are assigned in Microsoft 365.
- Unlimited Incoming Minutes: Incoming calls are unlimited.
- Three Options:
- Domestic Calling Plan Zone-1 US: Ideal for users in the United States and Puerto Rico.

International Calling Plan
For users who need to make international calls, the International Calling Plan provides the following benefits:
- Coverage: Users with licences can make international calls to 196 countries and regions.
- Flexible Minutes: The plan includes a pool of minutes that can be used for international calls.
Pay-As-You-Go Calling Plan
The Pay-As-You-Go Calling Plan is the most economical option for users who don’t frequently make outgoing calls. Key points include:
- Usage-Based Billing: Users are billed per minute for outgoing calls.
- Cost-Effective: Ideal for occasional callers who want flexibility without committing to a fixed plan.
Pooling of Minutes
- All users within the same country or region who share the same Calling Plan contribute to a pool of minutes.
- For example, if you have 100 users in the same country/region with a 120 minutes Domestic Calling Plan, they collectively share 12,000 minutes. Any calls exceeding this pool are billed per minute.
- Note that the country/region is determined by the location of the user’s licence in the Microsoft 365 admin centre, not the billing address listed under the Organisation Profile.
Pricing and Availability
- Microsoft Calling Plans are available in specific regions.
- Pricing varies based on the chosen plan and user requirements.
