    Sure, finding someone based on their phone number can be tricky, especially with APIs and modules not always delivering the expected results. It reminds me of a time when I needed to verify contact details for an event but faced similar challenges. I ended up using a tool that provided a free US number for temporary verification purposes. It was surprisingly helpful in quickly validating contacts without diving into complex API integrations.

    For your situation, have you considered expanding your search approach? Sometimes reaching out directly or using alternative verification tools like those offering free US numbers can provide additional insights or workarounds.

    Hi v-bofeng-msft,

     

    there is something strange because if I use this URI

    (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mobilePhone eq '+012345467'&$count=true)

    as shown below, the result value is []

    Output:

    {
    "@odata.count": 0,
    "value": []
    }
     
    if I use the URI (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=surname eq 'Rossi'&$count=true), the result is as expected...

    Output:
    {
    "@odata.count": 1,
    "value": [
    {
    "businessPhones": [],
    "displayName": "Mario Rossi, ABC",
    "givenName": "Mario",
    "jobTitle": "Developer",
    "mail": "mario.rossi@abc.com",
    "mobilePhone": "+012345467",
    "officeLocation": "XX",
    "preferredLanguage": null,
    "surname": "Rossi",
    "userPrincipalName": "mario.rossi@abc.com",
    "id": "xxxxxxx"
    }
    ]
    }
     
    Why?

    Hi @TheNextOne ,

     

    According to this documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/aad-advanced-queriesmobilePhone and businessPhones is consider an advanced queries, in order to query it, you need to have $count=true in the query string, and ConsistencyLevel: eventual in the header.
