Can't sign up for teams free classic org
Has Microsoft closed the new signups for Teams free (classic) or? Whenever I try to signup for the free version, it redirects me to the login page of teams personal. Some features are missing in the p...
- Teams Free (Classic) will continue to run for a while as long as you already have a tenant. All new sign-ups will go to our new platform moving forward, but as long as you have one, you shouldn't expect to see a force cutover until we announce something for those tenants.
Sadly I just cancelled my free classic org because I didn't like its directory domain and an Azure engineer told me I could totally sign up with it again with a new org... The customer service is so inconsistent
I was told by a 365 representative that existing users will be forced to move on, as I mentioned in a post above, but I have no way to verify this.

Sam Cosby Hope you don’t mind me tagging you.
Do you know if those already using a classic Teams free tenant will be ”shut down” or can they continue to use that going forward?
Thanks!
Well, it looks like the 365 customer service is being inconsistent again that it told me false information regarding the existing users of Teams free (classic). The Azure engineer who promised me that "You will be able to sign up with a new Microsoft Teams Free (classic) subscription after you delete the current tenant" replied "It is out of my scope" and kicked the responsibility to the 365 service team to defend himself as I told him I couldn't sign up any more. I angrily replied that out of his scope really was not a valid disclaimer - if it was out of his scope, he shouldn't make such false promise in the first place.
Apart from the unpleasant experience with the inconsistent customer service, I did find that Microsoft 365 F1 would be a perfect alternative. It costs only US$2.25/month, but has 1TB SharePoint storage (amazing!!!), which Teams and Teams apps utilize. Its 2GB OneDrive storage doesn't bother me at all cause I have Microsoft 365 Family with 1TB, and Teams doesn't even use OneDrive storage anyway.- Sam Cosby
