Hi David,

Belgium is also active on Microsoft Phone System (old name: Cloud PBX)
Country's who have porting features now:
- US
- UK
- Belgium
- France
- Netherlands
- Ireland
- Porto Rico
- Spain

You don't need to have E5 for PSTN Calling. If you have for example E3 (can also be done with E1), you need to buy the Phone System license and a calling plan (domestic or domestic+international). A calling plan you also need to buy when you have E5, in the E5 license the Phone system license is included.

If you need a on-premises environment is totally depending on your Phone feature needs.

Hi David,

Some issues I ran into. migrating a customer in NL and FR)

- Every Users needs a number (besides Phone System and Domestic Calling Plan subscription) to make phone calls.

- CallingLineIdentity (suppress the outgoing number) policy is not working on al Carriers (tested in FR and NL)

-Permium numbers (numbers you have to pay for extra) are not reachable (stil in the progress of getting this active)

Besides this issues it works fine.

Hi Marcel

Thanks for the reply.

So here we have like 20 phone numbers for 100 ppl.

What you are saying with sfbo we need 100 numbers ?

Its hard to find ppl in Europe with experience especially since its changing so fast.

If you see blog posts of ppl next week its not acurate anymore...

Regards,

David

I have migrated a customer with 20 numbers and a 100 ppl making phone calls. The 20 numbers are assigned Service numbers, for the 100 users I request a new block at MS... they are very quick with that.
