In a reply by Jim, he cited articles saying MS Teams can make/receive phone calls. I did not much delve into the articles to check if such calls are free. With Skype, you had to buy SkypeOut minutes. That allowed access to the telco POPs (point of presences) that converted from Internet (VOIP) to the telcos services (landline, mobile). https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/microsoft-teams-phone https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-teams/microsoft-teams-phone There is a link to pricing, so you'll have to pay to get outside of the VOIP system (i.e., have one endpoint *not* a VOIP client). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/what-is-phone-system-in-office-365 When I had an MS 365 subscription (for 5 years), a monthly quota of 60 minutes of SkypeOut was included as a perk (along with upping OneDrive storage to 1 TB for each up to 6 linked accounts). https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/how-do-i-activate-my-microsoft-365-skype-minutes-01bacd19-7133-4d4f-bbd5-11a839714fe4 With Skype now dying, I don't know what will happen to that 60-minute SkypeOut perk. The above article mentions you have to get a Microsoft Calling Plan. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/calling-plans-for-office-365
