Disabling toll-free numbers and Dial-out permission For Organization

Hi, 

 

Is there any policy in Teams which can disable toll-free and Dial-out for whole organization? 

 

Is it possible to create a policy in Teams and assign it to specific distribution group?

  • Hasan Siddiqui Hello, the outbound calling restriction policies for Audio Conferencing and user PSTN calls are also applied on a per-user basis. So both are per-user (disabling toll-free numbers and this one) at least according to the MS docs.

     

    Maybe you could use a policy package, have to do some research.

      ChristianBergstrom Is there any update on this?  We'd like to turn off toll-free for all users by default, and only enable for select users.  As is, we are running a PowerShell script to turn it off for everyone except users within a CSV, and it keeps failing (despite multiple retry attempts).  Please advise.

        FrankBastone Wow, can't even remember I replied to this topic tbh! Especially since I never use these policies. Anyway, I had to refresh myself and from what I can tell you can use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/outbound-calling-restriction-policies together with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/grant-csdialoutpolicy?view=skype-ps (even to all users in your organization).

         

        When it comes to disable the toll-free numbers I really don't know if you can set it for all users at once with a simple command as with the Grant-CsDialoutPolicy. Did a search and found this https://www.tenthirty.one/disabling-toll-free-dial-in-numbers-in-microsoft-audio-conferencing/

         

        Let me ping LinusCansby who perhaps knows more about it.

         

        Linus, Set-CsOnlineDialInConferencingUser and the AllowTollFreeDialIn $false to all users require some manual PowerShell scripting as per the link above and what FrankBastone is using, correct?
