# Licenses, Calling Plans, and Add-ons

### Zoom Phone Licenses

Provisioning a user with a Zoom Phone Basic license grants users access to fundamental features of the service. From there, additional features can be granted through calling plans—elevating the user to Licensed or Pro status—and can be further supplemented through add-ons. Alternatively, non-user-specific devices can be provisioned for service with a Common Area License.

Due to Zoom Phone's diverse capabilities and service offerings, readers are encouraged to view our [pricing page for in-depth information](https://zoom.us/pricing/zoom-phone) on Zoom Phone capabilities and speak with a member of their account's sales team to identify which calling plans are best-suited to meet their needs.
