Common Area Phones
 Hi      Was wonder if and when common area phones will be supported with Skype Online and what people are doing in the interirm.      Are you assigning generic ID's and logging into them?     Thanks ...

Alejandro - To be clear, when you say 'this SKU', do you mean a license specifically for common area phones? If so, that's great news!
We have many phones not dedicated to a specific user, but to a position or department, and may people use those. It seemed silly that to accomplish this with MS Phone System I would have to give each phone an E5+PSTN calling license*, when the ONLY thing it needs is the ability to make and receive phone calls. (And, most of those don't even need to receive external calls, but should at least be capable of dialing out)
*Or (E1 or Skype4b plan 2)+CloudPBX+PSTN Calling
