Aloha,
We just installed our new VOIP phone system a couple months ago. A few of us are incredibly frustrated that we can't dial an outside call by picking the phone up and then dialing - we have to dial the number first and then lift the handset. Years of habits to undo - and old habits die hard!
Is there a way to fix this so we can dial the way we always have - lift handset, then dial?
Mahalo,
Drew
Hello ,
welcome to the Polycom Community.
The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:
Oct 7, 2011 Question: Phone unable to Dial a number when Off Hook or on 2nd Call in a Conference
Resolution: Please check => here <=
Above is most likely causing your issue as once the handset is lifted the phone itself inspects the numbers dialed.
Simply removing all entries will solve this for you.
