EXTERNAL INCOMING CALLS NOT WORKING

Hi,

 

we signed up to Zoom Phone over two weeks ago and until now we were not able to receive any calls from any mobile phone. The only calls that go through are the one made from the Zoom network.

 

We don't know what to do anymore, we are chatting with the support team over 10 days, and nobody could fix the issue yet.

Everything in the setting seems to be good, but when we call the given number, it hangs up or gives a sound like the line is busy or does not exist.

 

I appreciate everyone's help.

    hi blistavidom,

    how are your local and or toll free numbers assigned?  do you have local numbers assigned to any individuals, call queues or auto receptionists?  if so, can you successfully call any of these numbers?

     

    what do your logs show for incoming calls?

     

    thanks,

      Here is one possible way to set up zoom phone.  This assumes you have two paid calling plans such USA/Canada unlimited calling plan licenses. 

      With two licenses for us/Canada you get two local telephone numbers and unlimited us/Canada calling.  

       

      One local number could be assigned to the auto receptionist.  You could assign the extra local telephone number to yourself or your colleague for direct calls without going through the auto receptionist. 

       

      The auto receptionist permits you to set up an interactive voice response (ivr).  The ivr could have ‘for Kara, press 1’ and ‘for your colleague, press 2.’ . When 1 is pressed, your extension is dialed and when 2 is pressed, your colleague’s extension is dialed.  

       

      You should assign one of your us/Canada unlimited calling plan licenses to your extension and the other calling plan license to your colleague’ extension.  This will permit both you and your colleague to make and receive outside and inside calls. 

       

      Thanks, eliot

      Hi,

       

      we are from Croatia and the number is a Local Landline Croatian number that was given to us from Zoom.

       

      We don’t have a second line.

      The idea was that w shave one main company number, and when you call it the auto receptionist starts the IvR. 1 for Sara, 2 for Ana and etc.

       

      This was all setup and when I call from Zoom phone the number we got the IvR starts to talk and it works. All outgoing calls work as well to, we can call from the number.

       

      The issues is:

      when somebody is calling this number it’s not working, it gives just a busy noise or message “number does not exist”. 
      Nobody was successful to make a external call to the number. The logs don’t show any incoming calls except the one we made inside the Zoom network.

      Hi,

       

      please confirm that you have assigned the local Croatian number you got from zoom to your auto receptionist as your main company number.

      https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360028553691-Managing-the-main-company-number-and-caller-ID

       

      incoming calls are free and internal calls are free. 

       

      Each user making outgoing calls needs to have a paid calling plan assigned to them.  It is optional for the users to have a direct local number.  With each paid calling plan, the company gets up to one local telephone number per paid calling plan.

       

      thanks, eliot
