They all have their own number assigned. I want them to be able to call clients using our tech support caller ID, which is the attendant. From what I have read, it should work, but it is not.

ahhhhh, definitely the resource account of the auto attendant needs a calling plan license to be able to make outbounds call from it.
give it 24 hours to propagate from the team's admin portal.
- dneedemyerAug 25, 2023Copper ContributorI had to license the attendant with a calling plan. It's working now. The only outstanding issue is I renamed the display name of the attendant, and it still shows up wrong in Teams. I have cleared the cache (%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams), but it hasn't made a difference. Is it just going to take time to propagate?
