Phone Beeping Every 15 Minutes or so

The desk phone of one of our users is beeping every 15 minutes or so. The phone is a Poly VVX250. I’ve replace the phone and patch cables, moved it to a different switch port, and rebooted the switch, but nothing seem sto help. I also set up another VVX250 in my office with the user’s extension and it too is beeping about every 15 minutes. So, it seems to be an issue with the user’s account or line. AI support was useless and my support plan doesn’t allow me to talk to humans, so I’m hoping someone here can help.

    hi ​@Matt P 

    you have done a lot of excellent troubleshooting.

    i ran your scenario through Perplexity and i think the results may be helpful.

    This pattern is almost certainly coming from Zoom Phone notifications tied to that user’s account (voicemail, call queue/monitoring, or Zoom client alerts), not the physical VVX250 hardware itself.

    Likely causes

    Account‑level notifications: Because any VVX250 registered to that user’s extension starts beeping, it points to a setting or state on the Zoom user/extension (voicemail waiting indicator, call park reminder, call queue wrap‑up, or barge/monitor alerts).

    Zoom client/device interaction: If the user runs the Zoom desktop/mobile app as well, some notification tones on the hard phone can be triggered by presence state changes, missed call/voicemail reminders, or call queue events on the account, even when the VVX looks idle.

    Things to check in Zoom admin

    On the affected user:

    Voicemail:

    Clear all voicemails (including deleted) and then call the mailbox to ensure there are no “stuck” new messages.

    Temporarily disable voicemail for the user, resync/reprovision the phone, and see if the beeping stops.

    Call queues / shared lines:

    Check if the user is a member of a call queue, shared line group, or monitored extension that might be sending periodic alerts (missed queue calls, SLA/monitoring notifications).

    User’s desk‑phone settings:

    In the Zoom web portal > Phone System Management > Users & Rooms > User > Policy/Settings, review any ring reminder, call waiting/park reminder, or distinctive ring settings that could produce periodic tones.

    If you can grab a short recording of the beep and confirm whether the message waiting light or any on‑screen icon changes when it happens, that would help pinpoint which notification it is.

    What Zoom Phone features (voicemail, call queue membership, shared line appearance, monitoring, etc.) does this specific user have that most other users do not?

    thanks,  eliot

    I would suggest checking the phone status messages via the local phone settings. If it’s beeping because of an error, the status message might give you a hint of what could be the problem. On the phone, hit the home button, option 6 settings, option 4 status. If it detects an error, it’ll indicate it on one of those parameters listed. My experience on VVX’s and edge phones when an error is detected, is you should see a red triangle top right corner of the phone.
