Solution

You may not have enough credits to make calls.

Try the following steps:

  2. Check to see if the calls have end reasons of "Rejected by Callee"
  3. If this is the case, please contact your voice provider and ask them to check if you have credits

Solution

There could be a problem on your voice provider's trunk.

Try the following steps:
  1. Leave the campaign if you are currently joined on one
  2. Go to the Contacts application and make a click-to-dial call
  3. Go to the outbound calls to see the call that you just made
  4. Look at the "End Reason" field to see if it says "Rejected by Callee"
  5. Repeat making calls to different numbers to see if all of the calls have a "Rejected by Callee" end reason
  6. Contact your voice provider and inform them that you are unable to make any outbound calls
