Cannot make international calls from South Africa

Hi All, 

I recently joined Zoom so that I could make calls from South Africa to Canada, but it seems that the service is not available on this plan that I selected.

 

I recently purchased an Unlimited Plan to Canada but have not been able to make any calls. Each time I have tried, I receive the following message: "Sorry...the requested service is not available in your calling plan".  I added the international calling as an add-on to the above plan, but I still cannot make calls. Also, I am unable to receive calls, too! So now I'm confused ( have I not set it up properly? Am I not dialling numbers correctly?) and worried that perhaps I have purchased an incorrect plan.

 

Can someone please assist me or give me pointers. Thanks

Hi gnesh2020

 

Since you have an unlimited plan to Canada plus international calling, you plan includes a US or Canadian telephone number that you select.  you should be able to call united states and Canadian telephone numbers as well as 15 countries (not including south africa) supported by your international calling plan.  In addition, you can call other countries on a metered basis.

 

Have you assigned your two plans and telephone number to your zoom phone user extension?
