Add-on licenses are licenses for specific Microsoft Teams capabilities. They give you the flexibility to add capabilities only for users in your organization who need them. To add a capability, buy one add-on license for each user who will use it.
The add-on licensing options available to you depend on the Microsoft 365 plan you have. To see which voice calling and audio conferencing options are available to you, see the Which Microsoft capabilities are available with my plan? section of this article.
Here’s a list of Teams add-on licenses and their capabilities that you can add to your Teams subscription.
| License | Description |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Business Voice | Business Voice was Microsoft’s voice capability bundle for small and medium businesses but will no longer be available to purchase starting on March 1, 2022. Current Business Voice subscribers can renew their Business Voice licenses until June 30, 2022.
If you’re a small or medium-sized business, we recommend purchasing the Teams Phone with Calling Plan license, if it’s available in your region. Alternatively, you can purchase a Teams Phone Standard license that will allow you to connect to your preferred third-party PSTN provider. |
| Teams Phone with Calling Plan bundle | The Teams Phone with Calling Plan license bundles Teams Phone System’s PBX capabilities and a Domestic Calling Plan for PSTN connectivity. |
| Teams Phone Standard | Teams Phone System is a hosted telephone service that gives you call control and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) capabilities. Teams Phone Standard licenses give you all Teams Phone System capabilities like cloud voicemail, caller ID, call park, call forwarding, auto attendants, call queues, call transfer, and caller ID.

| Microsoft Teams Calling Plans | If you want users to be able to call phone numbers outside your organization, you can purchase Microsoft Teams Calling Plans to connect to PSTN phone numbers with Microsoft as your PSTN provider.
