Extension dialling on Teams Phone doesn't work on Auto Attendant and won't transfer to the user
We are looking to switch to Teams Phone but we need to maintain our 4 digit extensions for the time being. I'm having a weird issue though where I can never get it to transfer to any user from the a...
- Mar 11, 2023I figured this out in case anyone else has this issue. +14083030000;ext=0000 is not the correct format for me at least the Microsoft documentation says put the number ;ext= extension but the correct format to make it work for us was:
+14083030000x0000
I had been trying for weeks using the ;ext= format and it never works. As soon as I used x instead, it immediately worked for all users. I could even set it in AzureAD without using Power Shell.
I'm using Calling Plan and Operator Connect on 2 different tenants and using the format about with x was the only way for us to get either tenant to work.

Hi,
Do you have a on-premises Active Directory? Please run the following commands for the user in your tenant and check
Set-ADUser -UserPrincipalName email address removed for privacy reasons -TelePhonenumber "+14083030000;ext=0000"
With Regards,

I just have AzureAD nothing is on premise. If I try your command it says Set-AdUser is not recognized. The one I was using was:
Set-CsUser -Identity "email address removed for privacy reasons" -OnPremLineURI tel:"+1xxxx600130;ext=2199"
When using Direct Routing I would issue this one:
Set-CsPhoneNumberAssignment -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -PhoneNumber "+1xxxx129586;ext=2122" -PhoneNumberType DirectRouting
In AzureAD it shows the extension, I've just never once been able to get an auto attendant to dial it.
Set-CsUser -Identity "email address removed for privacy reasons" -OnPremLineURI tel:"+1xxxx600130;ext=2199"

psychobunny83 This works with Operator Connect users as well? Can you please share the output of below for an OC user ?
Get-Csonlineuser -Identity user | fl LineURI, TeamsCarrierEmergencyCallRouingPolicy, OnPremLineURI, EnterpriseVoiceEnabled
TIA
- Sunil ChittorAug 25, 2023Copper Contributor4 digit extension works well. Is there a limit of how many digits the extension can be? Within Teams admin center, we can assign up to EIGHT digit extension. I have changed FOUR digit to FIVE digit extension two days ago but still its recognizing the previously assigned FOUR digit extension. A.D. replication is good and I can see the five digit extension within azure ad on the accounts, but still it's not working.
- rmendes2609Mar 21, 2023Copper ContributorHi sorry I have the same problem as you, could you send me a picture of your Microsoft Teams configuration where the extension field comes out, ie where should I put +14083030000x0000, I'm not sure where to put it.
Another question, I would like to know if what you get to mark # can be eliminated, that is, that only the 4 digit extension is marked and nothing else, without the need to mark the # key.

I actually did it via PowerShell, but in Microsoft Admin Centre, it's the "Office Phone" field when you click "Edit Contact Information" on a user. You can also do it from Azure Active Directory, as it's the "Business phone" field there.
Regarding the # after, I don't think that's possible from what I can tell. If you don't press # it sits there for 10 seconds or so and then says "if you are finished press pound."
