Two years ago, we launched Microsoft 365 Business Voice, a cloud-based phone system that provides small and medium businesses with a complete telephony solution built for Microsoft Teams. 


We are consolidating Business Voice with our Enterprise offerings into a new SKU named "Teams Phone with Calling Plan” to simplify the purchase decision process and streamline the delivery of enterprise-grade capabilities to SMBs. Teams Phone with Calling Plan will be available in 33 markets via partners on January 1, 2022, and will become available directly on the Teams Phone website in the US, UK, and Canada on January 3rd, and in the remainder of markets later in January.
