Operator Connect is an option for providing Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) connectivity with Teams and Phone System.
There are many Operator Connect providers in other countries
Why is there no Operator Connect provider in China?
China has two types of service providers
China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile are the three major operators from the Chinese government. All Chinese phone numbers come from these three operators. The phone numbers that can be seen in the market are all from the government, and these third-party resellers obtain numbers wholesale from the three major telecom operators.
Chinese government regulations issued in 2013
Chinese government policy requires phone numbers to be registered under the end user's company license. And this end user must have a local entity in China.
Who registered the phone number must take responsibility.
