Teams vs. BCC Calling
If the contact is a Teams user in your organization, the app will place a Teams-to-Teams call, even if an external phone number has been added to their contact record. To place an external call, enter the phone number in the dial pad or add a new, separate contact for their phone number. See Contacts for details.

E911 Address
When a 911 call is placed from the app, the location sent to emergency services is determined by the phone number assigned as your caller ID, which may or may not be the same as your actual phone number. You can see which address is assigned to your number in the end user portal.
If your own phone number is assigned, you can modify the E911 address in the portal. However, if you've been assigned a number used by multiple people, you will need to contact Customer Support to update your E911 address.
