Troubleshooting

Multiple safeguards are in place to prevent short dials from interfering with other features on the account. If you get an error when adding a short dial, the error message should tell you the problem to correct. Once you fix it, try adding the short dial(s) again.

The most common errors include:

  • Short dial overlaps with an existing short dial or extension.

  • Short dial begins with an N11 service number, such as 311, 411, 911, etc.

  • Short dial numbers are too long or too short; they must be the same length as extensions on the account.
