Unable to Make Outgoing Calls

Hello.  I am trying to get started with Zoom Phone.  I have the Unlimited Calling Plan.  I can receive calls but cannot make calls.  It tells me, "Sorry, we cannot complete your call.  Your service plan does not support calling this destination."  Is there a setting I need to change, or what?

    @kwinnie21 thank you for your question and for leveraging the Zoom Community!

    Did you assign yourself both a calling plan and a phone number my friend?   Can you also please let us know what calling plan you have assigned (country) as well?

    Yes, I assigned the plan and a phone number.  I am in the US and have the monthly unlimited calling

    Can you please go into the profile for the user (Zoom Phone System Management - Users and Rooms - and then select the user in question.   Once there, look at the user settings and then look at the settings for "Others and Block List" and see if outbound calling is disabled.

    I would also encourage you to look at the call logs as well and see what it says for the user trying to make the outbound call.

    What country are you dialing?  It might be a high cost region and disabled by default on your account.

    In the Zoom admin portal -  navigate to https://zoom.us/billing then within the Zoom Phone section select "View/Edit Countries/Regions".  In the call out section make sure the destination you're attempting to call is selected.

    I was having the same issue and this fixed it for me.  Thanks @aaroncoffman

    The first phone package I added was automatically assigned to me.

     

    Then I bought a second package. I had the darndest time figuring out why it wasn't showing me an option to assign the unlimited phone package from the Amin-->User Management-->User area in the same way that I can reassign zoom meeting licenses. The only option under User Management is "meetings and basic phone" which I kept trying but I still could not make outbound calls. 

     

    It turns out that the purchased phone packages cannot assigned in the User Management menu area. Instead it is done in the Phone Systems Management -->Users & Rooms area. So I went there and then went to Users and then added the second user. Once I added the person to that area, I could then assign the "Unlimted" phone package to them instead of the "basic" phone package.

     "Sorry, we cannot complete your call.  Your service plan does not support calling this destination."  Is there a setting I need to change, or what?

    Even though I have a yearly prepaid plan I went into https://zoom.us/billing as Aaron suggested.

    Then went to pay as you go.

    When I checked off United States my phone app will now call out.

    This should have made a difference because it is in a different plan.

    It's now working, is this a coincidence?

    Thanks Barry

    I am having the same problem.  It is very frustrating.  I have tried to find the solution here.  Can anyone help?   I have the Zoom Phone Basic plan.   I can call the number and get the automated operator.  I leave a voicemail but it never goes through.   Can anyone help?

    I'm also having this issue. The suggested fixes aren't working though. Have to say I'm pretty displeased with Zoom thus far. Calling to get this solved is kind of a nightmare.
