The system requires that you have telephone number associated with the User in order to send SMS messages. If you just have one Company Number, you will need to get another phone number and assign it to your Phone User account.

 

I hope that helps!

Please start with these steps. 

  1. Sign out of the Zoom mobile app or desktop app and  sign back in
  2. Navigate to SMS and try sending a test
  3. If you still get the same error, change over to another tab such as Meet & Chat. 
  4. Then navigate back to SMS and attempt another test. 

IF the above does not fix the problem, please proceed with the below. 

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Phone System Management, then Users & Rooms.

  4. Select the Policy tab.
