Managing multiple calling numbers in teams

Hi Cloud0009,
Yes, this can be done in Teams. As HenryPhillipsNimbitech is alluding to, either Auto Attendants and/or Call Queues would be the features you would use to accomplish this. Which one(s) you choose depends on the experience you want the callers to have; i.e. Should they be presented with a menu like "Press 1 for Sales, press 2 for Support"?
