Communications Credits for GCC
Microsoft has stated that after November 1, 2025, Teams resource accounts (Auto Attendants/Call Queues) making outbound PSTN calls will require Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) licensing or Communication Credits instead of Calling Plans. For GCC tenants, where exactly are Communication Credits configured and assigned? In commercial tenants this is typically done through the Microsoft 365 admin center under Billing > Communication credits, but I’m not seeing equivalent options in GCC. Has anyone successfully set this up in GCC, or is PAYG handled differently for government tenants?Teams Phone: Communication Credits or full calling plan?
We are migrating 10 users away from our old VoIP provider and onto Teams Phone. Reviewing the call activity from our existing VoIP provider, these 10 lines only appear to use an average of 15 hours of calling total, across all the numbers, per month. 99% of all the calling is domestic (US/North America). Given this, does it make more sense to have each user get a Teams Phone Standard license, and a pool of Communications Credits that the Teams Phone users draw from, versus giving each user a full Teams Phone Plus Calling Plan license?
