Forwarding zoom phone to my cell

I have set up my system to forward to my cell phone and it is not working. From everything I can see the settings are correct but it is not working.

    That did not work with those changes.

    I only have one line and my company number shows as the number 1(760) 602-xxxx #100 

    like 100 is an extension or? I don't have extensions. Just one person on this setup.

    could that be the problem? 

    It will not let me edit that anywhere I can see.


    Hi Loren,

     

    Yes, that is probably the issue.

     

    In the Zoom web portal go to Admin > Phone System Management > Auto Receptionists , you should see an Auto Receptionist listed, click its name, then in the Profile section set the Business Hours to "24/7",  Greeting Prompt to "Disable" and the Route to to "User" (you may have to scroll UP in the list) and then select your User Name/Ext in the box below, and then save.

     

    That should fix it, with what you did in the previous steps. 🤞

     

    Please let me know if that resolves it for you! 😊

    Hi @LorenSanders 

     

    If you reply with a screenshot of the Call Handling section under Phone > Settings from the Zoom web portal, I would be happy to see if something needs to be modified. Please black out any personal info on the screenshot.

     

    Is it your intention that the calls be directed to the Zoom app on your cell phone, or the native cell phone app and number? Do you want it to try your desktop app or desk phone before it transfer, or go immediately to the cell phone?

    Craig, thank you for the response. I want it to go straight to my cell, I do not have a phone appliance at the office, everything runs through my mobile. I have this old office number I used to use and so that is the number I had ported to Zoom for this purpose. It goes straight to a Zoom voice answer right now. So it is not even rining to me.

      I need help with this topic. I've successfully modified the web app Zoom to ENABLE call forwarding.

      I successfully set up the Zoom mobile app (iPhone) but every day, I notice the "Forward calls" goes to "off".  How do I keep the Zoom mobile app to HOLD my  request to forward calls?  I can't get it to stick.  When I swipe off the app, does it revert back to NOT forwarding the calls?  It's annoying I have to keep the Zoom app open in my phone at all times to keep the automated forwarding to my external cell number.
