That article is inaccessible without an account.  Nope, not creating an
account to read an article that can be found elswhere without
constraints.

found:

As I recall, you had to buy SkypeOut minutes to get connected to
non-Skype users, like to landlines and mobile phones.  Does MS Teams
require similar purchase to connect to non-Teams endpoints with
landlines and mobile phones?

"Moving forward, we will no longer offer paid Skype features to new
customers, including Skype Credit and subscriptions that allow you to
make and receive international and domestic calls."

Guess not.  So, to use Teams you and the other parties must use Teams.
No just calling the other parties over phones.

One of the perks in buying an MS 365 subscription is that you got 60
minutes of SkypeOut minutes.  One less perk to bother choosing MS 365.
