Question

Zoom settings - Personal - Phone Number verification for HOME phone

Good morning Zoom Community!

I have searched the Knowledgebase and Community and sent the "Chat Bot" various questions, but I do not see an answer to my question/problem: How do I verify a HOME phone number?

I was able to add my "Mobile" phone number by entering the "two factor authentication" 6-digit code. This does not work for a "Home" phone number. I hoped that I would get a phone call with the 6-digit code spoken by a robotic voice, but that did not happen.

Has anyone ever gotten a "Home" phone number to verify and add to the Zoom profile? Let me know how. Thanks!!

Interesting. I tried to add a "Home" number and no matter how I formatted the number, I get red error "Please provide a correct phone number" and I cannot proceed to the next step.

Similar but different problem maybe?

Hello,
My name is Brandon. Thanks for joining the Zoom Community! Can you please make sure that you are adding your country code as well as your phone number, please?

i.e. for a US-based number +1XXX-XXX-XXXX

I hope that this helps.

B!

Hi,

literally downloaded the app yesterday, set it all up and it’s refusing to recognise the phone number, country code correct, phone number correct, it then sends the SMS. for the verification code, input that and it returns a message saying ‘Failed to register phone number, please retry’

Hello,
My name is Brandon. Thanks for joining the Zoom Community! I tested this on a test account in the Zoom Sandbox and it is working properly. Do any of you have 2FA enabled on your accounts?

Hi,

it’s now working just fine so whatever you did has worked, all my address book contacts are now added.

Thank You

I have the same question regarding how to get the confirmation number for a home phone. (Not the other questions that were added later on this page).

Hi @KasiaS,

Are you talking about when you go to your profile page and click on add phone number to your account? It will not confirm a home number as in a landline? Is that what you are asking?

Hi Brandon!

Yes, my original post was asking how to confirm a landline "Home" phone. Obviously a text message sent to a landline is not going to be received. How can a landline phone # be verified since Two-Factor Authentication will not work??
