PSTN Calling: New preview countries
Great news, PSTN Calling for Germany and Belgium has been added to skypepreview.com today.
I don't see the Netherlands and Ireland anymore, does this mean they are going public?
Happy weekend!
Hi Erwin! Yes, The Netherlands and Ireland preview programs are now closed as we prepare for General Availability.
Switzerland?
What do I actually have to look for in my tenant? Can I move my existing numbers?

Hi Scott,
We do not yet have a confirmed time frame for the start of the Canada Preview Program, I have heard we will be announcing the date soon, so please stay tunned.
Thanks!
SaraSara I am also looking forward to getting on this Preview and plan to cut over to S4B completely.
Excellent. Any idea when PSTN calling for Germany will be in GA?
- Can someone state when PSTN Calling for Austria will be available under Preview/GA?
Hi,
if we configure SfB Cloud PBX with PSTN Calling Plan telephone numbers in the preview phase even for our companies in US and FR, is it guaranteed that we do not loose this telephone numbers after the preview phase for PSTN Calling in Germany is ended and we still can use them? As far as I can see the needed licence „Skype for Business PSTN Domestic and International Calling“ is automatically ending at 07th of December this year. Is it possible to extend this in any way?
Unfortunately I don't get any reaction to my skypepreview issue regarding to this, even no reaction on my email to skypeexp@microsoft.com :(
Thanks!

Hi Timo, apologies on the delay!
In order to keep the numbers you acquire during the preview phase using the promo codes, you will need to purchase licenses to continue using the service and keep any numbers. Promo codes have a finite lifespan, so once they expire, you will need to purchase licenses to replace the promo code. If you do not purchase the licenses, then eventually the service is disrupted and the numbers will be released.
Hi Sara,
sure I need to buy licenses, in this case I think I need to buy "Skype for Business PSTN Domestic and International Calling" licences. But in Germany with a German tenant we still cannot buy them, even if we just want to use them for not-german telephone numbers, for french or spanish numbers for example.
So when can I buy these licenses? Will this be possible before the Preview licenses expires?
Thanks,
Timo
- I recommend to use the service request system in your office365 portal. They respond a lot faster.

Hi Daniel,
No, unofrtunately we do not have a timeline for future countries that we are able to share at this time.
Hi Sara,

Is there a way MS partners can access this earlier?
