The Teams Phone offer
However, making a request to Arcep requires numerous limitations, such as being able to make emergency calls or being able to respond favorably to a telephone intervention request from a judge. The last company that made an order to Arcep was Skype in 2014 and it did not prosper despite the fact that a prosecutor had lent a hand so that the Authority accepted.
Microsoft intends to roll out on a global scale in the telecommunications market, as the company has just introduced Teams Phone. This new offer, in the testing phase in the United States, allows users to obtain this famous Microsoft phone number through the Teams software.
According to Microsoft, Teams last January had almost 270 million users active. The American giant counts on this solid base of employees and companies to get them to use Teams Phone.
