As part of the Microsoft commitment to the Cloud Voice service, a new PSTN Conferencing consumption plan has been presented in the last episode of the SfB Broadcast meeting.
Until now, an organization interested in Microsoft Conferencing service features needed a specific user license as part of an E5 plan or as an add-on to an enterprise plan.
This Skype for Business PSTN conferencing product licenses give the users the possibility to have remote users joining a meeting with dial-in feature or invite remote dialing-out.
Starting from 1st October 2017 a new possibility called “Pay as you go” (PAYG) will be added to the Microsoft conferencing portfolio.
This offering is designed for those users who need to have dial-in conferencing, but they don’t really need a lot of minutes for dial-in or dial-out.
Using this new plan, the users will only pay in case a remote user dials-in the meeting or if the organizer adds a participant using dial-out feature.
No monthly fee is charged per user, but only real minutes consumed using the Conferencing service.
More information about this topic and new feature coming to the Conferencing service is available at SfB Broadcast: Ep. 50 What’s new with PSTN Conferencing.
Prices for each country will be released before the service General Availability, so if you are interested in this new consumption base approach, stay tuned!
