Teams Business Voice and extensions
I am looking for some assistance if anyone can help out. I am migrating our existing phone system to Business Voice and I am running into some issues getting extensions used how they used to be. ...

Hi,
If you want to use Extension calling from an Auto Attendant it is the format +123456789;ext=789 you have to use.
Set up an auto attendant for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs
From a Teams client it is better to learn users how to call by name, ex. "/call <name>". But I guess you have desk phones that you want to use extension calling from, then in your Dial Plan you can setup this. But the extension have to match the number, so +123456789 would have extension 6789.

Thanks for the reply, internal extensions are quite as big of a deal if we just use contacts to call but do you have any recommendations for external callers reaching users via extension?
