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.

Thanks again. If any other users know of a free alternative to skype, would appreciate any advice/info!

The link you posted says "Unlimited domestic calling in one of the 48 available countries and territories", this is not what was being asked. What we need is the ability to call from OUTSIDE the USA, into a toll free number located in the USA. Is this possible with Zoom? Also I have a Business account but I do not see any icon / possibility to make any kind of calls. Where should this feature be located?
