If you would like to track phone calls from Bing Paid/Microsoft Adcenter visitors to your website, you should choose the quick setup source: Bing Paid.
In order for the dynamic number swapping to work, you will need to add utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc to all destination URLs in Bing Ads, or you can have Bing do this for you by turning on the auto-tagging for Bing. Read about how to do that here.
Adding URL parameters can capture additional information about your ads. Bing supports a variety of different parameters but doesn't have a convention for naming the variables this information is stored in.
We recommend, where possible, to use the utm_ parameters supported by Google Adwords. We provide additional parameters to capture additional information. For example: to capture the match type, Bing Ads should be configured to include ctm_match_type={MatchType} as part of the query string.
(Optional) If you wish to filter tracking groups by these parameters, you may adjust these criteria in the Landing URL field when you click edit next to this source on the tracking sources page.
Google Analytics provides these by default:
utm_source: source
utm_medium: medium
utm_content: ad_content
utm_term: keyword
utm_campaign: campaign
