Microsoft states that when an SBC returns a failure to Teams on an outbound Direct Routing call, a SIP 403 or 404 most likely means the PSTN provider is sending the failure, and the resolution is to contact the PSTN provider.

This is most likely the case if the failure error code is SIP 403 or SIP 404.
