Teams AA not transferring to VM for SIP Gateway callers
Hi - We are attempting to build a Teams AA for our IT Help Desk service. The after hours call flow goes to an after hours AA and we play an audio file instructing the caller for non critical support ...
Hi mike_pont,
as the call is started by the phone connected to the Teams SIP gateway and you call an Auto Attandant, the call is managed by the Teams platform and will not transfer the SBC or your SIP trunk.
So, I guess it is a Microsoft internal issue and you must wait for feedback and solution by the Microsoft support.
As a workaround, you can try to forward the call from the Auto Attendant to a call queue, set the call queue length to 0 and configure a call forwarding to the voicemail as disconnect action.
Of course it is only a workaround till the Microsoft support finds a solution.
Best regards,
Thorsten
Thanks Thorsten,
We've tried routing via a zero length CQ and then forwarding to VM from there but we have the same issue this way as well. It's in the hands of MS now. Another possible option which we've yet to try is routing all calls to the Help Desk AA number from SIP GW connected phones out via the Direct Routing trunks to the PSTN and back

- Hi - we've got a work-around until MS fix the issue - we have allocated a spare number on our SIP trunk that's not configured in Teams and configured a number translation on the Ribbon SBC to convert calls to that number to the Help Desk AA number, so the call trombones via the PSTN Direct Routing SIP Trunks and back to Teams - it's a bit convoluted but seems to work ok
