If you answer yes to the following, then Teams Phone with Calling Plan is the right solution for you:

- Calling Plan is available in your region.
- Calling Plan is available in your region. To confirm Calling Plan availability, see [Confirm Microsoft Calling Plan availability](calling-plan-overview.md).
- You don't need to retain your current PSTN carrier.
- You want to use Microsoft-managed access to the PSTN.

However, your situation might be more complex. For example, you might have offices in locations where Calling Plan isn't available. Or you might need to accommodate existing, on-premises telephony infrastructure. Microsoft can solve for any PSTN or on-premises integration, with a variety of integration options.

- Teams Phone with Calling Plan
- Teams Phone with your own PSTN carrier with Operator Connect
- Teams Phone with your own PSTN mobile carrier with Teams Phone Mobile
- Teams Phone with your own PSTN mobile carrier with Teams Phone Mobile
- Teams Phone with your own PSTN carrier with Direct Routing
- A combination solution that uses Teams Phone with Calling Plan, Teams Phone with Operator Connect, and/or Teams Phone with Direct Routing

You aren't limited to one integration. Just because you have a portion of users who are located in a country or region where Microsoft doesn't have a Calling Plan option doesn't mean all of your users have to be served by the one solution for those remote users.

You can have a combination solution that uses Teams Phone with Calling Plan, Teams Phone with Operator Connect, Teams Phone with Teams Phone Mobile, and/or Teams Phone with Direct Routing.
