Hi all! I have an inquiry that is very similar to this post here. 

 

My organization is moving from Avaya IP Office and over to the Zoom phone system. They are very rigid on their usage of desk phones and they all want to continue to use them as the primary means of making and managing calls; very few were interested in using the desktop app. 

 

With our Avaya system, all of the 45 staff members have one phone number and one extension. The phones allow us to have 3 lines for calls (and our front desk employee has up to 6 available). Is it possible to replicate this behavior in Zoom?

 

We are using Yealink T46U phones and I know that within the phone itself we can define the line keys, but Zoom will overwrite it each night when it re-provisions. I thought that maybe we could use the provisioning templates to set the first couple of line keys but I'd assume Zoom would take priority over it again.

 

Any suggestions on how to swap between more than two calls on a desk phone? For staff this won't be too bad but I could see this becoming an issue with our receptionist. Thanks!

Resolved! SMS email notifications

Some team members would like to receive email notifications when an SMS comes in.

Is this possible? If yes - how can we set that up? If no - what alternative is there?

Zoom ported my business number today but system is down. Cannot receive or send calls. A support ticket was submitted but still down 2 hrs later. Have had to cancel the rest of my business day as a result. Why is no one contacting me to resolve this issue? All articles in support do not address what happens when the system goes down.

blocking multi-numbered spam phone calls

Does anyone know how to block incoming zoom phone calls that originate from the same source but they use multiple different phone numbers? 

 

Can I block them by identifying the place they come from?

 

thanks zoomers.

Voicemail during lunch time

I would like to define a lunch time in the business hours e.g. 8h30 AM -> 12h30 PM and from 1h30 PM -> 5h30 PM. Closed hours  12h30 PM -> 1u30 PM-> route to the voicemail. How can I do this ?

I couldn't ask zoom support on this, as it seems their system is having some hard times. The support portal asks for attachment(even its said optional) but when we do, it still throws error.

Who is the 'Operator'?

Who is getting those messages? Where do they live in the system? 

 

thanks!

These scammers were knew enough about that employee to get her to pay “bond” to have a judge freeze warrants. What she allegedly did could have happened (failure to show up in court as a witness after signing a subpoena). 

 

Now we’re getting a lot more scam calls. Ugh. Thanks, Zoom (not).

 

I’ll check our phone privacy settings I thought I turned the correct spam filter on.
