Teams Admin - Configuring Outbound Calling Restrictions for Users

Teams Phone can restrict outbound calling for both the Audio Conferencing and PSTN services. This allows administrators the ability to block calling numbers outside the specified region. Outbound calling restrictions can also be used to disable outbound calling capabilities altogether.

  1. Navigate to the Teams admin center (https://admin.teams.microsoft.com). 

  1. Expand Users and select Manage users.
