Calling 1-800 numbers on zoom?

[jenniferchan828]

hi, can anyone advise if I can call a 1-800 toll free number on zoom? I have Zoom workplace installed on my Mac but I can't see anywhere on the menu bar to place a call. I didn't need to call till now, but with skype being phased out, I would need to find an alternative to do so. Currently traveling in Europe and need to find a way to call different 1-800 numbers in North America. Thanks for suggestions/advice!

Hi @jenniferchan828 

to dial a USA 800 number, you need to be calling from a USA telephone number.   With zoom phone, you will need a paid plan such as unlimited us/Canada or a us/Canada metered plan.

ok, I see. Thanks for your reply. It seems there's no free alternative to skype then currently.

Zoom phone with unlimited USA/Canada calling is currently usd 15.00 per user per month.  Zoom phone has over 8 million subscribers.
