@Penny Laloulu Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Apple's suggestion of using three cell phones in a household to increase iCloud storage is specific to Apple's iCloud storage plans and their pricing structure. Each Apple ID or iCloud account is allocated a certain amount of free storage, and additional storage can be purchased on a monthly or annual basis. In this case, Apple is suggesting that multiple cell phones can each have their own Apple ID and associated iCloud storage plans, effectively increasing the combined storage available to the household.

No, the number of cell phones you have in a household does not directly impact the storage allocation in Microsoft Plan (Azure Storage) . Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of services, including storage options such as Azure Blob storage and Azure Files.

The storage allocation in Microsoft Azure is typically based on the specific services and storage accounts you create within Azure. Azure provides various pricing options and storage plans that are based on factors such as the amount of storage capacity, data transfer, and other features you choose.

The number of cell phones you have in your household is not directly tied to the storage allocation in Microsoft Azure. The storage in Azure is typically associated with services and resources provisioned within the Azure platform, rather than being linked to personal devices like cell phones.

It's important to understand that Microsoft Azure and iCloud (Apple's cloud storage service) are different platforms with separate storage offerings and pricing structures. Azure primarily caters to enterprise-level cloud computing needs, while iCloud is Apple's consumer-oriented cloud storage service.

Additional information : In contrast, Microsoft offers its own cloud storage solution called OneDrive, which is separate from Apple's iCloud. Microsoft provides a certain amount of free storage for each Microsoft account, and additional storage can also be purchased. However, the number of cell phones you have associated with your Microsoft account does not directly impact the amount of storage available. Microsoft's storage plans are generally based on the total storage allocation per account, rather than per device.

If you are using Microsoft services such as OneDrive, your storage allocation will be based on your Microsoft account and the specific storage plan you have subscribed to, rather than the number of cell phones you have associated with it. The storage available to you will depend on the plan you have chosen or the amount of free storage provided by Microsoft.

It's important to note that iCloud and OneDrive are separate services provided by Apple and Microsoft respectively, and their storage plans and pricing structures differ.
