Phone

The Cisco 9800 series of desk phones have been out for about a year now but I am not seeing any mention of them on the big cloud VOIP phone providers like Zoom, 8X8, RingCentral, Nextiva, etc.  My rep tells me an internal roadmap shows them as possibly being certified in June 2025. We are very seriously contemplating switching to Zoom phone and the hardware is a big element of the switch away from our legacy Avaya on prem PBX. So far, we are very impressed with Zoom Phone. We've been testing the Poly Edge phones and they are nice, but the Cisco 8800 and 9800 series devices seem just a tad higher quality, maybe more substantial, etc.I like the larger buttons. We like the Poly Edge phones, but if given a choice I'd probably pick the Cisco phones after holding both in my hands. I don't want to deploy the 8800 series (they are certified on Zoom) because they are 10 years old and lack certain modern features like Zoom App Call Control (dialing on PC in Zoom app and it dials your des

Hi, I was using Zoom to make a phone call, when i realized all of my text messages have disappeared!  When i logged into the app on my desktop, they were all there, and when a client texted me, our full conversation popped back up.  Is there any way to recover the messages onto my phone?  i'm often communicating with clients away from my laptop and need our chat history.   Has this happened to anyone else?  

Hi Team, We recently signed up for Zoom Phone and used the service for a brief period (1–2 days), during which we also ported in our business number. Unfortunately, our account was permanently suspended due to a reported violation. As a result, we are unable to log into our account or access any information. We submitted an appeal to have our number released or ported out, but the appeal was rejected without any explanation or details provided. This number is extremely important to us as it is actively used for our day-to-day business operations, and the current situation is causing major disruptions. I would appreciate your help. Best Regards,

Hello,We’ve just signed up for the Zoom Business Phone plan and completed the number porting process from Skype. However, when we try to make a call through Zoom, we get the following message:“Sorry, the requested service is not available in your calling plan.”We subscribed to a business phone plan, so we’re not sure why it’s not working.Additionally, during the porting process, an #800 extension was added to our number — we didn’t request this and would like to have it removed.Could you please help us resolve these issues?Thank you!

If I am on a call and another call comes into the queue - we have it set not to ring to me - but it isn't in my list of missed calls so that I can call someone back - the call only shows on someone's phone who wasn't on the phone when the phone rang

Hi! We use Zoom phone and would like some sort of notification of any missed call. Scenario:Client makes an incoming call to our 'call queue' and rings for 30 seconds, but does not leave a voicemail. Currently, we just look at the zoom desktop client at various times during the day but we'd really like to set up a notification. Any ideas, creative or easier?! Thanks Richard

An Auto Receptionist answers the main number for our firm. It forwards to a Call Queue which has two members, the Common Area phones which are answered by the receptionists at our front desk. If both of the receptionists have to be away at the same time (and for a while), one of the Executive Assistants will come down to the front desk to greet visitors and take calls for the main line - meaning they are now away from their own desk phone, not covering their manager's line, etc. We tried enabling Hot Desking on the front desk Common Area phones so an Executive Assistant could sign in and receive calls to their own line (and especially to their manager's line) ...but doing so stopped the front desk phone from being able to receive the main phone number, which is not a workable solution. While we have thought of other ways in which the Executive Assistant could cover their own calls / manager's calls (such as with the Zoom

Zoomphoneでの一般電話への通話がワンコールで，もしくは相手方が出てすぐに切れてしまうことが多くあります。前者の場合はかなりの音量で，女性の声で「この電話からはただいまお繋ぎできません。時間が経ってから再度お試しください」というようなアナウンスが流れます。 Zoomphoneで使っている端末はiPhone XRです。そのような症状が出て

Hello.  When an incoming call comes in, it takes the focus.  This is frustrating for our customer support reps as they are in the middle of typing notes and the focus is taken away as they type.  Is there a way to have the call still appearing, but not take the front focus?

Hey, we would like to bulk update our phones to have the company number as the outgoing caller ID in line key one but have noticed the csv import/export does not have this feature for all users. This only seems to exist on a per user basis. Anyone managed to achieve this?

Does anyone know if there is a way to answer Zoom phone calls while my computer is locked? I lock my computer by pressing Windows+L and sometimes I get calls while my computer is locked. I usually can't sign in fast enough to answer the call.

Hi, I'm having trouble connecting to meetings from my Samsung smartphone using the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Bluetooth headphones. When I connect to a meeting, the audio option identifies three options: Bluetooth, Speaker, and Headset. If I select Bluetooth, I can only hear, and no one can hear me even if I activate the microphone. If I use a headset, the microphone works, but I can't hear anyone else. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe I have something configured incorrectly. It is necessary to clarify that I only have this problem with ZOOM, so the proper functioning of the headphones is guaranteed.

Hi everyone, we are a business that is based in Croatia and we work as a contractor to a firm in the UK. Our work requires us to be able to call UK numbers and to have a UK number of our own. Thus far we have used Skype for this without any issues, but it is shutting down now so we switched to Zoom. The issue is that when we try to setup numbers for the UK, we are required to input a UK address and documents proving that this is the address of the business, is there no other way for us to get a UK number and to call UK numbers? This wasn't required on Skype. Could we at least get a Croatian number and call UK numbers without further charges? We have the "Zoom Phone Pro Global Select Unlimited" package. Would we be charged additionally for each call to the UK if we got a Croatian number?

When I am called the ringtone plays through both my speakers and headset. I would much prefer it rings to just my speakers and then allow me to take the call on my headset.This is on windows desktop zoom app. The app is fully up to date. Please advise. Thank you. 

When I am dialing a US number from the account, I hear an error message: Sorry, the requested service is not available in your calling plan.Please help. But I have already subscribed and paid for the Phone plan.

Hi i want to use this zoom phone as my second personal number and i want o enable the sms on Zoom phone without providing 10DLC. Anyone with the solution here? 

Can anyone help me understand how this works or is anyone using it? Are all the prerequisites required? It talks about certain phones you need to have I'm just all sorts of confused. It shows having zoom phone application clients so can we page to these devices? I tried visiting with support but all they do is send me the links to the articles I've already read, but they don't really explain what the end result is. I was with a company in the past where for paging all we did was buy the ip horn and give it a license and assign it a common area, you can then call that extension and get a page in essence. Do you still go through this same process and the cloud thing is just a way of grouping them all together? 

Has zoom started letting small businesses that are sole proprietor setup sms ? 

I'm late to the party on this and just figured out that I can't send texts anymore. I never realized this was a requirement of mine. How do I create a brand when I am a sole proprietor without an EIN.  This is not required for tax purposes for my business, so I don't plan to get an EIN. I tried to use my SSN - probably a dumb move - but that was rejected. Now what do I do? Anyone? Anyone? I keep emailing support with no response. Really upset right now.  Also - how long does the approval process take??? Weeks???  I read that somewhere.

Hi team, my sales team sometimes experiences an issue where when dialing out the zoom phone system gives us a dial tone that is very loud and resembles the sound a jackhammer makes. The calls are still connecting so this is mainly a quality of life issue. Any idea on what could be causing this and a potent

Hello, I have a problem with my phone. When I receive a call and don't answer, the call answers automatically. How do I turn this feature off?Thank you! Karianne 

Hi, I started the setup process yesterday for Zoom Phone after purchasing a package for use in UK to trial the system before potentially switching over from our current provider. Going through the set up process, I'm stuck on the 'Select Company Number' in the 'Prepare for Phone Assignment' section.I've added emergency address for my location, selected Country and picked a telephone number - but I cannot select the Emergency Address as it's pending (which stops me continuing)... how do I progress the pending part? Do I need to verify the address somewhere/somehow? (it doesn't say).I don't want to wait a week and find out I needed to do something earlier lol Many thanks

Transcriptions of ZoomPhone recordings cannot be translated into Japanese.The default language for call queues and users is set to Japanese.Do I need to change anything else?

I have spoken to five people, and no one knows how to switch to annual billing for Zoom Phone. I'm not sure if this is even an option. I have my Zoom Phone number set up, so there’s no way I'm canceling that number. It took two weeks to set up Zoom Phone properly. Any ideas?
