MS Teams - Unable to add Contacts from CCX phone history

[Aramesh]

Hello, First of all thanks for this community, I could find solutions for all of my problems in these forum. Here is the issue that I am facing. We have deployed CCX 400 and 500 series phones for MS Teams in our Tenant. One of our remote team uses CCX 500 to receive and make calls. They don't use a desktop or laptop.

The problem with this setup is we couldn't add numbers to the contacts from Call History. But we can add them to Favorites.  When I add it, the phone asks me to create a group and I get " Java.Net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "teams.microsoft.com": no address associated with hostname" error.

If I choose an existing group, I get "Error This user cannot be added as a contact as its invalid" error. I tried multiple formats and it didn't let me add it

I will open a ticket with MS Premier Support

Hello @Aramesh 

thanks for this as Microsoft owns the application. We simply cannot open a ticket on a customers behalf especially if we are unable to replicate the issue.

To my own personal knowledge, this has not as of yet been reported anywhere globally.

Best regards

Hello @SteffenBaierUK,

I agree with you. I wanted to check whether you or @jschertz has seen this issue before. I will keep this thread updated in case I get any update from MS. The unique thing about this is, the users don't use the same outlook account or desktop application. The phone is used as a common area phone with O365 F3 and a phone system license. I could replicate the issue on my test phone too, where I have an E5 license.
