Switchvox - Why Do I Get the Error: You Are Not Permitted to Dial This Number when trying to dial an outgoing number?

  1. First, check the Error Logs (go to Server > Error Logs) to see if there is an error message such as: Call to [number] doesn't match any outgoing call rules. 

  2. Verify there is an Outgoing Call Rule that allows the number being dialed (for example, a 10-digit number or a 7-digit number, or an internal number).

  3. Check the extension and verify that the extension has permission to use that Call Rule. Go to Setup > Extensions:Manage > click on yellow pencil for the extension number > Outgoing Call Rules. Is the relevant Call Rule listed with a green checkmark? If so, the extension has permission to use the call rule.

 

If the call is going out through an IVR using the action: Send to External Number, verify that the IVR Action has the Outgoing Call Rule allowed in the list of outgoing call rules within the IVR Menu. Go to Tools > IVR Editor > select IVR Menu > View > Modify Actions > Send to External Number > Outgoing call rules for this number. Is there an outgoing call rule listed? If not, add the call rule.

  1. If the Outgoing Call Rule is working and there is still a problem dialing outgoing calls, change the digit map. Go to Setup > Extensions:Manage > click on yellow pencil for the extension number > Phone Settings > Advanced Phone Options > Override Dial Plan = Yes and enter the Universal Dial Plan in the Dial Plan field: x.T|*xx.T

  2. Save SIP Extension

  3. Reboot phone.

  4. Place test call and see if it will dial out now.
