Operator Connect is now available through the Teams admin portal. With the Operator Connect it is possible to select one of the available PSTN provider to get phone numbers from different countries. Each provider like Pure IP, German Telekom, TATA, offer phone numbers and service for a range of countries.
If you select one of these provider you can get more details with selecting “offer details
Or you select your preferred provider direct.
I have select PureIP as my preferred provider and only Germany for PSTN phone numbers

I will continue these article, if I get the additional information fromPureIP.
If you migrate form Skype or another software client to Microsoft Teams Voice, you should disable the call control through your headset device configuration. Through the migration you will use both software client at the same time for different functions like, chat, voice and online meeting.
I use a Jabra Headset, you can use the Jabra Direct to control your headset and disable “Call control with softphone”
If this feature is activated on your headset, calls will be droppt if you leave the call on one of your softphone clients!

With this option, it is possible to make voice calls between Teams clients and PSTN calls through the local SBC if internet connection is not available.

If I get more technical deep information, I will post on my Blog.
