Teams Voicemail removes a digit from the callback number for 570 area code
If someone calls an employee on Teams and leaves a voicemail; the callback number in Teams will be missing the '0' (zero) in the 570 area code. This does not happen for other area codes, and it will...

Are you using direct routing, or call plans? It's unusual for a number in the middle to be stripped out, usually beginning or end. If you are the administrator, did you create any normalization rules?

jangliss Thank you so much for the reply! We are using direct routing. I am 95% certain that we do not have any normalization rules, but I will follow-up to confirm.

Wayne1871Another thing worth checking is what happens if you just dial a number with a 570 prefix, does it do the same then? What happens when dialing a 570 prefixed number that matches a number of a person that has left a voice mail? For example if their caller ID was 5701234567 dial the same.
- Wayne1871Sep 18, 2021Copper ContributorIf we dial a number with the dial pad with the 570 prefix, it works perfectly. It only fails when you click the call-back link on a voicemail (which is missing the digit). So in your example, dialing 5701234567 from the dial pad works with no issue; but when the caller leaves a voicemail, the number will show as 571234567, and so the call-back link will not work. I believe that the successful call from the dial pad will also show correctly in history, and the link could be used to call the number again successfully. Only voicemail will strip the digit (and as far as we know- only from the 570 area code). I am not aware of the issue occurring for any of the other area codes we operate in (ex. 315, 607, 845) or for vendor messages from other area codes.
