    Dialing "0" produces busy tone

    Every user in every group gets a busy signal whenever they try dialing "0". Even people calling in dialing "0" when prompted by the auto-attendant get a busy tone.

    Thoughts on what could cause this issue? system setting conflicts? auto-attendant settings that might cause this?

    Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.

    First thought : you have a user, group or faulty shortcode with number "0".
    Another one: can you dial group 200? Or any exsisting user/group which has the digit zero in the number?

      There are some specific users using *FWD0 as a short code with a telephone number of 100=100. But some people have a short code of *FWD0 and a telephone number of 209=208 or some full 12 digit number, so i'm unsure how relevant that is. What they use to be able to do and have suddenly had problems with is dialing 0 to reach extension 100 (the operator). Also, yes, they can dial users and groups with 0's in their extensions

      I wonder, if I create a new short code with a short code of '0', an action of 'call extn', a telephone number of 100, and a group ID of 0, will this allow everyone who dials 0 to be redirected to extension 100? or will this cause issues for other users/groups/short codes?

        I assumed that you use "0" for external calls but now you make me think You use a "9" for that.
        Just create a group with the number 0 and add the receptionist to that group.

          Sorry if i wasn't clear, and yes we use '9' for outside calls.I tried the short code option and it is currently working. I will update if there are any other issues. I had considered that '0 group' option as well as dtmf breakout but I was afraid of possible conflicts.
