No long distance dialing for common area phones

What's the best method step by step of limiting common area phones to local dialing only and blocking long distance?

The step by step would be to create a voice policy, pstn usage, and route with those restrictions, then assign it to the common area phones.  Then, assign the voice policy to the phones and test.  What you're attempting to do is actually quite
common.
I made a handy tool to assign policies to common area phones if it helps:

  • How to disable addressbook access for common area phones

    I'm searching for a way to prevent access to the company addressbook for our common area phones. One of these phones is used as a door phone in public area and should not display the contact cards of our employees.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Please try to add the msRTCSIP-GroupingID attribute on the Contact for Lync users, then test the issue again.
    The basic premise is you can define groups of users in your organizations and assign them different groupingIds. 
    A groupingId is simply a guid and only users who have the same groupingId may search for each other. 
    To set the groupingId for a user, you must set the value of msRTCSIP-GroupingId in Active Directory.
    More details:

  • Can Lync common area phone request device updates?

    Hi,
    simple question: can a Lync Phone Edition device (LPE, Aries class, Polycom CX500 / CX600 etc.) request device updates, when the phone is hosting a common area phone contact object?
    Fortunately I know the answer: it seems NOT, I see in the system settings that there is an error for the last device update request. However as soon as I login with a normal user account, the device update request status is 200, and the phone gets updated
    under 5 minutes and reboots properly.
    While I know the answer, I would like to get feedback from MS: is this a design defect of the product, a bug in the way common area phone contact object authenticates on the Lync webservices or something else? Other peoples experience is more than welcome!

    Hi,
    You can feedback on the link below:

  • Common area phone gets "Unable to access server. Please search later"

    I installed two common area phones, a Polycom CX3000 speaker phone and a Polycom CX500.  When starting to type a phone number the following message appears on the screen of the phone: "Unable to access server.  Please search later". 
    Is there any way to enable the search capability for these phones without connecting the USB cable on the CX3000?  Note that the CX500 doesn't have a USB cable at all.

    Hi,
    Please use the Test-CsPhoneBootstrap commandlet to troubleshoot the issue.
    Please check SRV records as Lync phone cannot utilize manual configuration.
    Please make sure the sign in user has been Enterprise Voice enabled.
    Please double check the steps configuring common area phone:

  • Common Area Phone and Call Forwarding

    Hi,
    Is it basicly possible to use Call Forwarding on Common Area Phones without Hot Desking?
    According toTechnet yes.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412807.aspx
    We have a problem with the setup of Common Area Phones.
    All CAP phones have a Voice Policy with Call Forwarding enabled and Firmware 4.0.7577.250. (Hard Reset done)
    But the phone menu does not show the Call Forwarding entry.
    When we log in as a user (Hot Desking) with the same Voice Policy, Call Forwarding is shown and functional.   
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advanced for any input.
    Cheers.
    Dietmar

    Try these (on Lync 2013 SEFAUtil):
    Forward calls to outbound:
    C:\>SEFAUtil.exe /server:theGreatPool.internal.net sip:[email protected] /Verbose /callanswerwaittime:10 /setfwddestination:+3580123456789  /enablefwdnoanswer
    Forward calls to internal user:
    C:\>SEFAUtil.exe /server:theGreatPool.internal.net sip:[email protected] /Verbose /callanswerwaittime:10 /setfwddestination:sip:[email protected]  /enablefwdnoanswer

    Thanks

    Hi,
    1.  Please disable Hotdesking in Lync Client Policy then test again.
    2.  Please install KB 2737909, 2737910, 2737911 in the link below:

  • Long distance in local calling area

    I have set up some Skype to go numbers in my calling area and some of them are working but when I dial others Bell Canada says the number is a long distance number.  Is there any way to chose the number (ie 613 927 XXXX or 613 434 XXXX) instead of it being automatically assigned?  ANy help would be appreciated!

    a STG number is mapped to a single target number, and that number must always be entered in international dialing format (i.e. exactly the same way you would dial it if you were wanting to call it using SkypeOut on any Skype client)
    Regards,

  • Common Area Phone with strict DNS rules in multi pool env.

    Hi There,
    As you know, CommonAreaPhones have the strict DNS rules: pool's FQDN's domain must be the same than phone's SIP address domain is.
    In the DHCP we can set only one pool's FQDN, so does anybody have an idea how to get phones spread between two pools? I do not mean that each subnet have own dedicated configuration.
    Pool's are of course internal, so they are having internal FQDNes. Currently the L2010 is faked on the DHCP as pool.company.com (as the SIP domain is company.com). But now on L2013 we have two pools waiting for the phones.
    Petri

    I don't think you'll have a problem.  The strict DNS naming is more of a SRV/A record issue, which shouldn't pose a problem.

  • Unhappy with verizon about long distance charges

    Hi I have been very happy with verizon for a very long time, and I always had every problem resolved, the customer service is one of the best there is. But I saw a $38.87 in long distance charge on my bill. Which is impossible because when I first got my cell phone I was never able to make international calls from day one, also I only use calling cards or apps to call international. As always I trust verizon wireless to resolve my issues. So when I called I spoke to BROOK and she was fine at first, but then when I told her that I never added international calling to my plan, she said that this service is given to long time customers. And even tho I did accepted that in fact I did call international, she kept repeating herself to me saying, ''YOU JUST ADMITTED TO ME YOU MADE THE CALL''. Of course I admitted it, I'm not gonna lie. I felt like my mom saying ''you just admitted to me". When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she said I am the supervisor and I can only meet you half way as a courtesy or something like that. I insisted to speak someone higher and finally she put me on hold, I said ok she said ''uhuh'' like I inconvenienced her. I work in customer service, customers can get really rude and frustrating, and even curse you out, but in no way I did any of that(because I know how it feels). The point is that I never added international calling to my plan, and I used a calling card to make every international call. Although the gentleman she transferred me after was more like a person DID NOT resolve my problem I am $19.00 short. I am so upset and even when verizon was charging extra for many months in the past w/o my permission (it was returned after). Even that, did not make me upset because I trusted that verizon will resolve it with no problem. Well now I can't wait until my plan is due on November and cancel my services.

    I am also unhappy with verizon's long distance charges for my cell phone. It's ridiculous that I'm getting charged $6.37 in long distance charges for two months in a row. The first month, I went to the store and they mentioned a call to Canada. I was like "fine, I may have called Canada." The next month, I am absolutely certain that I did not make any international calls; yet I got another charge for $6.37. Now I'm going to have to waste my time on the phone with Verizon for this refund because their website links you to discussion forums instead of providing an option to email customer service to complain about overcharges.

  • ASA upgrade to 8.4.3 now branh office cant make long distance calls

    We deployed 8.4.2 over the weekend and now a branch office that connects  to our core via ASA to ASA VPN tunnel is no longer able to make long  distance calls.  We are using Callmanager 4.1 and it is connected to our  core, the phones at the branch register fine and are abe to call  internal extensions, but when dialing 800 numbers and longdistance they  are not being directed to their PRI. 

    Hello Stuart:
    Answers:
    1) If you have the command "NAMES" on and "NAT CONTROL" on the ASA will start creating a huge amount of object networks so they can perform the same thing that they did on 8.2 . So before doing the upgrade remove the names and the nat control feature
    no names
    no nat-control
    2) Twice nat or as you said (nat command outside of an object network) it is listed on the command reference and actually it has the highest priority when the ASA checks the NAT rules. So do NOT delete them as they are more than fine.
         A) Twice NAT
         B) Auto nat
         C) After-Auto nat
    3) That is correct but if they are from the NAT 0 with acl from 8.2 versions should be:
         nat (inside,outside) source static A A destination static B B
    4) You are right, you do not need to use a NAT 0 with ACL in order to configure the VPN, instead you need a TWICE nat as I configured on answer 3.
    Any other question..Sure.. Just remember to rate all of the answers.

  • Long Distance Calling & Voice-over IP

    If I am running my blackberry thru my wireless router, can I make long distance calls for free? I heard that if you're in a foreign country and you hook into wifi that your calls are free as well...true?

    UMA = Unlimited Mobile Access.
    Yes, if you have UMA on your device, if you are in, say Germany, and you have a WiFi connection and UMA on the screen, when you make a call to anywhere, in this case pretend you are calling back to the USA.
    The call is made via WiFi/UMA, and the call is connected to a router for the WiFi network you are on, and then direct back to a Tmobile network center in the USA. Then the call is connected to your party via the normal phone network. Because the call now "originates" from the Tmobile service center in the USA, the call is a local in-nation call.
    Say you are in Germany, and you call Japan. Same story, the call orginiates from the Tmo service center in the US, and you are charged for a US --> Japan call, rather than Germany > Japan, which in most cases can be advantageous for your rates.

  • What is the email for the covent garden apple store (UK), if not apple uk. I am in canada and need to contact THIS store (for an insurance claim) and the phone system won't work for a long distance call.

    I am currently living in Canada (but I am from the UK).
    I lost my iphone 4S 32GB a couple of weeks ago and I need to try and prove to my insurance company that the iphone was a 32GB.
    I was told by an apple store near where i live that the original store where i purchased my iphone may be able to find records on my phone and print out a receipt for me. I can't get through to the Covent Garden apple store in london (where i brought the phone), because the automated phone system that apple uses doesn't seem to like long distance phone calls.
    Is there an email for the covent garden store, or for apple uk? I tried toi chat to an apple advisor online, but because of my location i got put through to apple USA.

    I noticed an error for some reason, the last two characters should have been do rather than co.
