Microsoft launches new affordable Microsoft 365 plan: Price, features and more – Times of India

Microsoft 365 Basic plan: Price, availability

According to the report, the plan will be rolled out worldwide on January 30. However, at the time of the filing of the report, the plan isn’t listed on the Microsoft India website. So it’s not clear when — and if — it will be made available in India. In the US, the Microsoft 365 Basic plan will cost $1.99 per month. So if it does launch in India, we can expect it to cost under Rs 200 per month.
What are the features offered under Microsoft 365 Basic plan?
Users will get up to 100 GB of OneDrive cloud storage. In addition to it, users also get access to Outlook on the web and mobile without any ads. Microsoft also offers enhanced security features in Outlook under the plan. These features include data encryption for the mailbox, malware scanning and more.
Furthermore, the plan will also give users access to Microsoft’s technical support. Users can chat with Microsoft support staff over phone or online regarding any issues with Windows 11 or Microsoft 365 apps.
Do keep in mind that the plan doesn’t offer access to any of the desktop versions of Microsoft 365 Office apps like Word, Excel, or Powerpoint.
