5. See a list of errors and their resolutions below.

Issues when calling from rented numbers

If you are unable to place an outbound call from the rented number, it may be because:

Your balance is too low. If you have not paid the monthly fee for the rented number, you will see Forbidden. Not active in the call log.

Make sure you have enough credits to pay for your number under CRM > Add-ons > Telephony > Connection > Balance & Statistics.

Also, you can click Configure in the top right corner to check when the rent is due.

If there is a current or earlier date, your rent number subscription is not renewed.

Top up your telephony account balance to enable outbound calls.

You didn't upload the documentation required, or it wasn't approved. In some countries, it is required by law that a telephone company request legal documentation from you before you can use your rented numbers. If you haven't uploaded documents or they were rejected, you will see Forbidden. Can't be used in the call log.

Check the status of your documents under CRM > Add-ons > Telephony > Upload documentation.

Here, you can also upload new documents if the previous ones were rejected.

Issues when calling from SIP PBXs

If outbound calls do not go through when calling from your SIP PBX, it may be because of:

Inactive SIP connector subscription. If you are out of free minutes, you will see the corresponding error in the call log: SIP Trial: trial time is over.

Purchase the SIP connector to continue using outbound calls.

Errors on the PBX side. To ensure the issue is on your PBX side, open the call log and check if there is an error with one of the following codes: 403, 404, 480, or 500. Copy the link to the call log from the browser address bar and provide it to your PBX support team to resolve the issue.

The only exception is error code 408. Contact the Bitrix24 Support team for a solution in this case.

Issues not related to your connection type

Sometimes outbound call issues are caused by incorrect telephony settings. See the following cases:

There are connection problems. If the system cannot establish the connection (either for outgoing or incoming calls), check the following:

• Technical requirements for the telephony module.

• Your firewall may be blocking the traffic. Try to switch off your antivirus system and repeat the call.

• In case you have a problem with the firewall, make sure that the *.bitrix24.com address is opened. Also, you can check our telephony provider's documentation on this matter.

• Your browser may be transferring an incorrectly cached file from CDN. Desktop app installation may help.

A user does not have access permissions to perform outbound calls. In this case, there will be the following error in the call log: User is not allowed to call number.

Check the telephony access permissions settings and assign this user a role that allows outgoing calls.

A phone number is added to Exceptions. If the client's phone number is on the exception list, there will be the same error in the log: User is not allowed to call number.

Remove the client's number from Exceptions to allow calling them.

There is no access to the microphone. Allow access to your microphone in the browser settings to avoid the following error:

Note that such failed calls are not registered under Call details.

We also recommend taking a call quality test after that.

The phone number is invalid or incorrect. If you enter the wrong phone number, the active call form says This route is unavailable. In the call log, you will find the Invalid number error.

This may happen because:

• The phone number format is not correct. Enter the phone number in full international format that includes the country code, city code, and local phone number. It doesn't matter if the number has any of +, ( ), - symbols, or blank spaces between digits. The system recognizes the number anyway; only the digit order is important.

  To call countries with numbers starting at 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, or 89, dial with +, 00, or 011. For example, here is how it should be for Vietnam: +84, 0084, or 01184, and the rest of the number.

  If you need a 0 at the start of the number, use either 00 or 011 for dialing. The format of the number 0630123456 for an outgoing call will be 000630123456 or 0110630123456.

• The code is missing for the Voximplant provider. When using a rented number, you can only call numbers with area codes from our provider's price list.

• The number you are trying to reach is disconnected or not in service. Ensure you enter the number format correctly and use an area code from the provider's price list. If a call does not go through, check if the number is active. Make a call to it from a number that is not connected to Bitrix24. If the number you've dialed is not active, you will hear a message that it's incorrect.

If you have a different situation, please contact the Bitrix24 Support team via chat. Don't forget to provide the call log with the issue.
