Microsoft Teams

Before you can set up users in your organization to make and receive phone calls, you must get phone numbers for them.

There are three ways to get user numbers:

Use the Microsoft Teams admin center. For some countries and regions, you can get numbers for your users using the Microsoft Teams admin center. See Get new phone numbers for your users.
Port your existing numbers. You can port or transfer existing numbers from your current service provider or phone carrier. For more information, see Transfer phone numbers to Teams or Manage phone numbers for your organization.
Use a request form for new numbers. Sometimes (depending on your country or region) you won't be able to get your new phone numbers using the Microsoft Teams admin center or you'll need specific phone numbers or area codes. For more information, see Manage phone numbers for your organization.

Note

If you need help setting up phone numbers for your organization, contact Support Contact for Business Products - Admin Help.

Get new phone numbers for your users

Using the Microsoft Teams admin center

You must be a Teams service admin to make these changes. See Use Teams administrator roles to manage Teams to read about getting admin roles and permissions.

Sign into the Microsoft Teams admin center.
In the left navigation, go to Voice > Phone numbers, and then select Add.
Enter a name for the order and add a description.
On the Location and quantity page, do the following:
1. Under Country or region, select a country or region.
2. Under Number type, select User (subscriber).
3. Under Operator, select an operator.
4. Under Quantity, enter the number of numbers that you want for your organization.
5. Under Search for new numbers, select a location by searching for city name, area code, or postal code. If you need to create a new location, select Add a location.
6. Under Area code, select an area code.
7. Select Next to select your numbers.
Select the numbers you want. You have 10 minutes to select your phone numbers and place your order. If you take more than 10 minutes, the phone numbers will be returned to the pool of numbers.
When you're ready to place your order, select Place order.

Important

The number of phone numbers for users (subscribers) is equal to the total number of Domestic Calling Plan and International Calling Plan licenses you have assigned multiplied by 1.1, plus 10 additional phone numbers. For example, if you have 50 users in total with a Domestic Calling Plan and/or International Calling Plan, you can acquire 65 phone numbers (50 x 1.1 + 10). Note that if you have a Pay-As-You-Go Calling Plan, you can only acquire 1 phone number per license assigned.

For details, see How many phone numbers can you get?. If you need to get more phone numbers than this, contact Support Contact for Business Products - Admin Help.

Port or transfer phone numbers from your service provider or phone carrier

If you need 999 or fewer phone numbers for your users, use the porting wizard in the Microsoft Teams admin center. Follow the steps in Transfer phone numbers to Teams. If you need assistance with this process, you can manually submit a port order or see Manage phone numbers for your organization to download the correct Letter of Authorization (LOA).
If you need to port more than 999 phone numbers, you can manually submit a port order or see Manage phone numbers for your organization to download the correct Letter of Authorization (LOA). Complete and sign the LOA documents, and then contact the TNS service desk for your region.

Note

For more information about LOAs to port/transfer existing phone numbers and additional documentation requirements, see Manage phone numbers for Calling Plan.

To port/transfer 999 or fewer phone numbers for your users, upload the completed and signed LOAs in the Microsoft Teams admin center for further processing.

To port/transfer more than 999 phone numbers or if you experience issues with the porting process in the Microsoft Teams admin center, you can manually submit a port order to the TNS Service Desk for your region.

View the phone numbers for your organization

Using the Microsoft Teams admin center

In the left navigation of the admin center, go to Voice > Phone numbers to view the numbers for your organization, including number provider, location, number type, and status information.

Using the Teams PowerShell cmdlet

To view a list of up to 500 phone numbers, use the PowerShell cmdlet Get-CsPhoneNumberAssignment. You can also download the full list of all acquired phone numbers by using the Export-CsAcquiredPhoneNumber cmdlet.
