Why does calling does not route using the local voice routing set in operator connect when there are other sites using direct routing in the same tenant?

Hi LakGautam - can you provide more clarity upon what you mean by local voice routing set?- LakGautamJun 09, 2022Copper ContributorWell I am setting up Operator Connect in my test account where I have also Direct Routing employed too at a different location. After setting up, when test user is calling, the caller id shows the earlier Direct Routing setup. I have a seperate Dial Plan as well as Voice Routing policy setup for Direct Routing and the test user is not using them.
- dinocaputoJun 09, 2022MVPWith Operator Connect, there is typically no voice routes defined so all calls will automatically route to the OC provider, except when there is an exact match on a voice route. If so, then that voice route should be used assuming its configured for a Direct Routing voice route.
- LakGautamJun 09, 2022Copper ContributorWill you be able to please elaborate this? Thanks.
- dinocaputoJun 09, 2022MVPTo elaborate, this is a common scenario I see and have configured for my customers. On premises SBC with Direct Routing configured which connects Teams to local PBX. Customers configure a voice route that looks for 4 digit extensions to reach legacy users on the PBX. A voice route is created to look for 4 digit dial patterns and routes them to the SBC. Anything not matching that voice route will use the Operator Connect path for PSTN calls.
