I purchased the office 365 for business and would like to get business phone number to associate with my business account. Is this possible? How can I obtain this number? Currently my account is associated with my personal phone number and I like to change this.

    Hello,

    In order to obtain a business phone number, you will need to purchase additional licenses besides your Office 365, unless you are on the E5/A5/G5 plan.

    Sign into your admin center via https://admin.microsoft.com using your business user credential.

    Then go to Billing > Purchase. Search for calling plan, and you want to purchase the Teams Phone with calling plan. You might see more than one option. Depending on if you are calling domestic or international, or zone, you can pick the one that works for you. Once you purchased it, you can assign this license to your user.

    Once thhat's done, go to Teams' admin center https://admin.teams.microsoft.com 

    On the left, click on Voice > Phone number. From there, click on Add to obtain your phone number. Once your phone number is obtained, assign to your user.

    Hello Yousra,

    I'm Ibhadighi and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    Yes, you can obtain a business phone number to use with your Office 365 for Business account, especially if you're using Microsoft Teams. Here's a simplified way to do this:

    1. Microsoft Teams Phone System: First, you need to have the Microsoft Teams Phone System as part of your Office 365 subscription. This feature is included in certain plans like Microsoft 365 Business Voice or can be added to some Office 365 subscriptions.
    2. Purchase a Calling Plan: Once you have the Phone System, you'll need a Calling Plan from Microsoft. This plan provides you with phone numbers for your organization.
    3. Assign a Phone Number: After purchasing the Calling Plan, you can obtain and assign a phone number to your account in Teams. Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center, select 'Voice' > 'Phone numbers', and then click 'Add'.
    4. Change Your Number: To change from your personal number to the new business number, go to the Teams admin center and update your contact information under your user settings.
    5. Check Availability and Regulations: Note that the availability of Microsoft's phone system and calling plans can vary by region and country, and there might be specific regulatory requirements.

    By setting this up, you'll be able to use a separate, dedicated business phone number with your Office 365 for Business account, integrated into Microsoft Teams.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards, Ibhadighi
