For customers who are adopting the Audio Conferencing service and have a high business need for dialing out to US and Canada, Microsoft now provides an add-on offer that allows virtually unlimited with fair use policy US and Canada dial-out minutes for any audio conferencing user. Meeting organizers with this add-on SKU can make virtually unlimited with fair use policy dial-out calls to US and Canada without deducting their tenant’s Zone A country dial-out usage pool or Communications Credits.
Extended Dial-out Minutes to USA/CAN (Governmental Community Cloud Pricing) provides all the functionality of its enterprise counterpart (Extended Dial-out Minutes to USA/CAN) but is hosted in a separate, secured environment and adds compliance features like accreditations, personnel screening, and data residency that enable the service to meet the unique needs of US Government customers. State and local government customers that require compliance-level data protection and security can also take advantage of Extended Dial-out Minutes to USA/CAN (Governmental Community Cloud Pricing).
