Microsoft cautions that configuring the global (Org-wide default) online voice routing policy makes every voice-enabled user inherit it, which might inadvertently route PSTN calls from Calling Plan and Operator Connect users to a Direct Routing trunk; to avoid this, create a custom policy and assign it to individual voice-enabled users.

If you don't want all users to use the global online voice routing policy, configure a custom online voice routing policy and assign it to individual voice-enabled users.
