I'm currently using Microsoft 365 Family, which I got for a great price through the IOS store in Turkey explained here on OzBargain.

However, I'm interested in upgrading to Microsoft 365 Business Standard, not Basic, as the Standard version includes Bing Chat Enterprize with enhanced data privacy. Prompts into Bing chat aren’t saved or used to improve the LLM.

I've heard of people using VPNs to access cheaper prices in different countries and was wondering if anyone has had success with this method for Microsoft 365 Business Standard?

For context, I do have a business/school 365 account under a company that I purchased on eBay at a low cost. However, my concern with using that account data security and privacy.

Any advice or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated!

  This might be my best option for $14.90 a month, 12 months up front for $179.

  Rather than 20.57 ($18.70 without GST) directly from Microsoft

  Bing Chat still isn't integrated into Office Forms, you need to manually copy and paste your data into ChatGPT to ask it to tell you trends in your data. Kind of annoying.

    If you're doing your data in Excel then you can install Excel Labs and use it as a formula.

    Copilot for Office is available but it's $30 a month, which is pretty pricey unless you're using it a fair bit.
