Microsoft 365 E5 licences (including Microsoft 365 E5 no Teams) include the Microsoft 365 Phone System application, so a user with any Microsoft 365 E5 licence does not also need a standalone Teams Phone Standard licence.

Checked 2026-09-25

In the case where any Microsoft 365 E5 license is used, it isn't necessary to also assign the stand-alone Microsoft Teams Phone Standard license.
