Initiating call from Outlook 2010 contact failing

[sunstate]

v10, RC. MyPhone installed locally, desktop components installed, and Outlook plugin installed. When I right click on a contact in Outlook I get the Call With 3CX option. When I click it, the softphone (v6) pops up and shows the call being made, but almost right away the provider comes back with "the number you are calling is not in service". When I check the 3CX server log it looks like the number it is trying to call is wrong. It is prepending %20 to the number.

Making route(s) to <sip480)%[email protected]:5060>

Below is the Outlook contact and the server log. This exact same contact worked fine with v9. This started yesterday when we upgraded to v10 RC.

1. As I can see, ur Numbers are not stored in Outlook as Outlook likes them. They should start all with an +.
Use the assistant of Outlook to fill in the data correctly

2. Dont use the "Call via 3CX PBX" Add In, go normaly to the Call function of Outlook, this will interact with MS Telephony and edit the nummer before you call it automatically. You can add prefixs and so on. If the number is set as in 1 it will work like a charme.

The numnber is formatted automatically by Outlook. If you try typing it in any other way it will automatically change it. And on top of that, this exact same contact worked fine with V9. This is the exact same machine, exact same Outlook install, and exact same contact. The only thing that changed was V10 of the phone system and the new V6 softphone.

I have never seen that outlook start an contact with () its always starts with an +1.
Anyway. Do not not use the button call via PBX. use Outlook Call Function.
Then You can Validate as well what outlook is going to dial.

This is in german written but the screenshots are clear to understand and check

I'm facing a similar problem as described in this topic. I have explained the problem in this topic:

https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/3cx-myphone-regarding-outgoing-calls-from-outlook-bug.20217/

If I use the default Outlook call to function, I'm shown a popup:



When I press Start Call, the same problem occurs: the space is translated to %20 and the call fails. When I try to edit the number in the Number field and try to click Start Call, I'm confronted with the following error notice:



I went through the Dialing Properties as described in the German posting, but I could not find a way to remove the space between the country code and the phone number.

Besides trying to find a workaround to this problem, I think it is safe to assume it is a bug in the 3CX software and it needs to be fixed in a next version.
