# Set up Microsoft Calling Plans

This article describes how to set up Microsoft Calling Plans with Teams Phone. This solution is the simplest option that connects Teams Phone to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for external calling. With this option, **Microsoft acts as your PSTN carrier**.

This article assumes that you already have Teams Phone licenses for your users, which is a requirement for purchasing Calling Plans. If you do not have a Teams Phone license, see [Set up Teams Phone](setting-up-your-phone-system.md).

If you do not have a Teams Phone license, see [Set up Teams Phone](setting-up-your-phone-system.md) and [Microsoft Teams add-on licenses](./teams-add-on-licensing/microsoft-teams-add-on-licensing.md).

For more information about all Microsoft Calling Plan options, see [Calling Plans for Teams](calling-plans-for-office-365.md).

- **Port your existing numbers.** You can port or transfer existing numbers from your current service provider or phone carrier to Microsoft 365. After you port your phone numbers to Teams, Microsoft will become your service provider and will bill you for those phone numbers. For more information, see [Transfer phone numbers to Teams](phone-number-calling-plans/transfer-phone-numbers-to-teams.md).

- **Use a request form for new numbers.** Sometimes (depending on your country/region) you won't be able to get your new phone numbers using the Teams admin center, or you'll need specific phone numbers or area codes. If so, you'll need to download a form and send it back to us. For more information, see [Manage phone numbers for your organization](manage-phone-numbers-for-your-organization/manage-phone-numbers-for-your-organization.md).

## Step 4: Add emergency addresses and locations for your organization
<a name="bkmk_add_addresses"> </a>

An emergency address must be associated with a phone number. When this association happens can vary among country and regions. For example, in the United States, you need to associate an emergency address when you assign the phone number to the user. In the United Kingdom, you need to associate an emergency address to the phone number when you're getting the phone numbers from Microsoft 365, or when transferring phone numbers from your current service provider.

## Step 5: Assign an emergency address and a phone number to a user
<a name="bkmk_add_addresses"> </a>

You must assign a phone number and an emergency address to each of your users. The emergency address must be created before you can associate it with a phone number. For more information, see [Assign or change an emergency address](assign-change-emergency-location-user.md) and [Assign a phone number](assign-change-or-remove-a-phone-number-for-a-user.md).
