I can just confirm that I can't order numbers for Saudi either, I check both the new and the old portal. So I guess you have to contact Microsoft Support get sort this out.

In the document you sent it is only Toll numbers that should be available, not Toll-free.

Hi @Linus Cansby 

 

Did you manage to get Toll number for Saudi? I have the same requirements and I know that Toll Service number should be available but I can't order one from the portal.

I can't see any numbers for Saudi. Contact Microsoft Support.

Any update on this? did someone manage to get this sorted out in Saudi?

 

I get to have this done in United Arab Emirates:

Hi,

For getting both the Toll and Toll Free Number for UAE you need to raise the request with Microsoft through your Account Manager or through the Support Channel. Post that only the numbers are Assigned as there are limited numbers available.
