What does HRESULT 0x80F0000B (RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER) mean?

RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER

Protocol boundary: RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER

RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER marks a specific boundary in a PINT gateway reporting the PSTN-side result of a requested telephone service: the supplied telephone destination could not be accepted as a routable number for the PINT service; treating RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER as a generic RTC failure loses the state needed to choose a safe next action.

For correlation, retain 0x80F0000B in the RTC PINT-status facility together with RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER; for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, generic HRESULT text can otherwise hide the protocol family and the exact RTC branch.

The quickest way to localize RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER is to capture a redacted normalized number, numbering plan/context, service type, and gateway validation result; the important RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER boundary is that Bad Number concerns addressing or numbering-plan validity rather than a reachable line being busy or unanswered.

Protocol and object boundary

The surrounding protocol rule for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER is that PINT extends SIP/SDP to request telephone-network services; these status values describe PSTN execution rather than ordinary SIP proxy routing; in addition, the RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER path requires that A signaling request can be accepted by the gateway yet later fail because one leg is busy, unanswered, invalid, or rejected by the switch.

How to prove the condition

1. Record RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER and 0x80F0000B at the first RTC method or event that returns it.
2. Identify the client, profile, session, participant, presence object, terminal, or port manager that owns this RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER occurrence.
3. Place RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER in its exact phase: parsing, discovery, transport, authentication, profile validation, dialog control, media, roaming, registration, redirection, or final response handling.
4. For RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, prove the condition by ensuring the trace can capture a redacted normalized number, numbering plan/context, service type, and gateway validation result.
5. Apply one controlled change for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: correct normalization, country/area context, or user input before creating another request; then verify the RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER return value and resulting RTC state.

For RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, a SIP capture without RTC callback state cannot show which local object accepted or rejected the transition; for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, an HRESULT-only log has the opposite weakness: it cannot show whether the result was generated before transmission or mapped from the peer.

Minimum incident record

Do not wait for a generic failure notification to log RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER; preserve the API call or event producing RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER together with the RTC object and transaction state visible at that moment.

• Code-specific proof for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: capture a redacted normalized number, numbering plan/context, service type, and gateway validation result.
• Owning object for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: gateway and switch timestamps.
• Wire evidence for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: cancellation or final indication.
• Lifecycle generation for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: PINT request/correlation ID.

When recording RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, redact credentials, full telephone numbers, private contact lists, and message bodies; for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, retain permitted URI domains, header names, byte counts, hashes, transaction identifiers, timestamps, and state transitions.

Actions that do not address this condition

• The following shortcut is unsafe for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: do not do not expose complete telephone numbers in general application logs.
• Another non-solution for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER is to do not reinterpret a PSTN leg result as a SIP transport outage.
• Keep RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER intact through exception and UI layers; a generic parameter or network message is insufficient for diagnosis.

Correct application response

Resolve RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER at its producing layer: correct normalization, country/area context, or user input before creating another request; after RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, a separate UI or watchdog retry must wait until that layer reports a final state.

Before retrying RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, classify the previous operation as definitely failed, definitely completed, or remotely uncertain; for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, that distinction prevents duplicate dialogs, bindings, transfers, or roaming mutations.

Example for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: A request supplies a local number without the dialing context required by the selected gateway.

Nearby failure modes

Use the following contrast when classifying RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER: No Answer and Busy require a number that was routable enough to attempt; for RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER, similar subsystem names do not imply identical recovery.

The comparison prevents RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER from being flattened into a subsystem-wide error bucket with unsafe generic remediation.

Verification after a fix

A useful RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER regression does more than expect an exception; the RTC_E_PINT_STATUS_REJECTED_BADNUMBER test constructs “the supplied telephone destination could not be accepted as a routable number for the PINT service”, checks the exact HRESULT at the producing RTC boundary, and verifies state ownership before and after the targeted correction.
