The last dialed telephone number for a contact changes to "Communicator Call" after you start Communicator 2007 R2 or Communicator 2007

SYMPTOMS

After you restart Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 or restart Microsoft Office Communicator 2007, the last dialed telephone number of a contact is set to Communicator Call. This occurs even if another telephone number for this contact was dialed in the last Communicator session.

Additionally, you have to manually select one of the other available telephone numbers for that contact because Communicator Call is not available.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Communicator cannot keep the default telephone number, which is the last dialed telephone number, for the contact when the 
TelephonyMode
registry entry is set to 4.

Note If the
TelephonyMode
registry entry is set to 4, no Communicator calls are enabled. This registry entry is located under the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install one of the following update packages depending on the version of Communicator that you use:
