    Ok - the workaround:

    2. Navigate to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/ > Voice > Phone numbers > Add 
    3. Type some part of the emergency address created (not any part of the title), such as the street name, in the location box when adding a phone number. It should allow you to select the emergency address from a dropdown (with the titles displayed - go figure). 

     

    Using a part of the actual address from the emergency address (and not the title itself) was the workaround in my case.
