    Hello

    The dial pad will only work if you have remaining skype credits, otherwise you will not even see the option to do so.

    If you do have remaining skype credits, you can do so:

    1. Via the Skype Web Portal: https://calling.web.skype.com (Web portal will stay after Skype app goes away).
    2. A Skype Dial Pad will be added to Teams app. When you click on the dial pad, it will launch the Skype web portal for you. The calls will not be operated from within Teams. On your computer, click on the three dots on the upper right to find it, on phones, click on your user profile icon to find it.

    =========

    Once your credits run out, you will need Teams business license + Teams phone with calling plan in order to call phone number domestic or international.

    To make an international landline call with Skype Dial Pad:

    1. Open the dial pad:
    2. Make sure the account has one of these active on the same Skype sign-in:
      • Skype Credit
      • a subscription
      • an active Skype number
    3. Enter the international number in international format:
      • Type a + sign
      • Then enter the country code
      • Then enter the local number
      • Example format: +4412345678910
    4. If using Skype minutes in Skype, select the Choose country/region drop-down and pick the country code, then type the phone number.
    5. Select Call to start the call.

    If the Skype Dial Pad does not appear in Teams Free, update Teams to the latest version and verify that the same Skype account has active Skype Credit or a subscription. If there is no active credit or subscription, the dial pad option will not appear. In that case, reactivate inactive Skype Credit from the My Account page, then reopen Teams Free.

    If calling still fails, check the Skype Status page for any current service issues.
