Start a zoom meeting does not generate a phone number that I can send to invite

I don't know where I changed it, but zoom used to include a number you can call to join the meeting along with the meeting code. For those who don't have access to a computer or smartphone (which requires internet access which some people in my area don't have). When I join other meetings other people host, they will send an invitation that shows a number you can call. I can't find a number for zoom to talk to someone. (I did before and the person who I talked to said that regular phones can't call into zoom meetings when I can if someone else hosts.....).

ANY PHONE can join a Zoom meeting and any phone can be used as the audio device for a computer when that computer does not have a sound device. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060564

I was trying to send invite for a meeting and it neer gave me the option to enter a phone no. Only an e-mail address?

Well, I'm unsure which phone numbers with codes to put in so people can join a meeting. It was extremely frustrating. We found a different service that does computer and phone with it generating the numbers you can copy and send to people.
