Call Forwarding Fee Question

On my company's plan, I have a user who very rarely uses her number and would only occasionally get inbound calls. I want to forward her phone to her cell, however when I try, I notice it says "I acknowledge that calls forwarded to the PSTN may be billed based on usage, per the terms of my calling plan". I'm not privy of which tier of plan the org has, but we have a toll free number, a decent number of users, etc.

 

I tried reaching out to customer support to get clarification on this, but the slow responses are as clear as mud. I'm just trying to find out if there's a fee for forwarding, how much is it? 

 

I get my own calls forwarded occasionally when I am not at my desk to receive them, however they don't last more than 1-2 minutes. When I set up my own call forwarding 2 years ago, I don't believe I saw this same verbiage on it. I definitely would have thought twice. 

 

TL;DR: How much is the fee for call forwarding if there is indeed a fee? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Click to Dial no longer functioning - zoomphonecall://{phone}

We use NetSuite's built in telephony system in combination with Zoom's click to dial functionality. 

 

We have been using zoomphonecall://{phone} without issue for years. As of today, it's no longer functioning. Nothing happens when clicking the phone number link. 

 

After going over Zoom's developer documentation, I've tried various forms of the URI scheme. Only one I could get to directly dial is "zoomphonecall://+1234567890? ", in which case it of course only dialed 1234567890. Not very helpful.

 

If anyone has any additional information, I would appreciate it.

We have most of our employees on a soft phone using the desktop app, with maybe 10 users on Deskphones. When I create a Paging group and only have softphone employees, I get "Sorry we are unable to complete your call....". When I put someone with a deskphone (VVX250) it rings to them and the message is played after pick up. So I have a few questions:

 

How do I get paging to work for those on a desktop app?

How do I get it to page out to the deskphone and not have to wait for them to answer?

Hello,  

 

I hope I selected the correct location and topic.  

 

I'm trying to set up my new employee to use the business zoom phone for inbound and outbound calls so they aren't using their own phone number.  I'm not planning on giving them their own phone number I'd just like them to use my business number.  I hope I can explain this correctly but here are my thoughts and what I'm looking for, if somebody could give me assistance on guidance. 

  1. I guessing I'll need to purchase an alternate license for them because they'll require their own extension and the ability to log in via their own account/email.  I'm not trying to give them a new number just the ability to log in and use our business line.  I somebody could confirm this is what I need to do.  
  2. I would like them to have their own extension so when a client calls for them specifically it's not ringing to everybody.  Is using the auto reception the correct idea/method or is this even a possibility. 

Thank you for any assistance. 

Alex

Resolved! Distinctive Ring for Internal vs. External Calls

Users are requesting a way to distinguish an incoming internal call (a call from an internal user) vs. a call from an external number. Is there a way to set a different ring tone for a direct call to someone's extension vs. a call to a call queue? Show more

We have zoom SMS integrated into salesforce, and experiencing that for a lead that was created yesterday, we are able to see a full zoom SMS conversation between our sales agent and her lead. However, she had today a full SMS conversation with a lead and is not able to see the log. Is there a latency in recording these SMS conversations? Is there a limit to how many leads the system can record full SMS conversations for?

Zoom Phone Integration w/SalesForce - all calls show unlinked symbol, but they are logged - fix?

@here - I need help! Up until a week ago, when I linked a call in my Zoom/SalesForce (lightning) phone integration, I saw that a call was linked to a Lightning SalesForce account. Now, even though I link the call to the account and verify that it is logged, it is showing the "unlinked" symbol (broken paperclip) after EVERY call. How can I fix this issue? In addition, unless I am on the SF account specifically, even though I link it to a person's name, the name disappears from history after I save the information.

Zoom SMS Salesforce Integration Issues/Questions

I have recently set up the integration with Zoom Phone and Salesforce.  I have been doing some testing with the SMS functionality and have some questions/issues.

 

1. The SMS messages do not get saved to Salesforce unless I actually go into the record in the Zoom app within Salesforce.  I do not imagine my users will be using the in salesforce app very much because of the other options.  Is there a way for it to force save messages without viewing them in SF?

2. The SMS messages, once saved, are not being related to a contact record.  I tested having SF create records for Zoom phone calls, and that seems to relate the task record to the correct contact, but the SMS record doesn't relate to anything.

3.  You can change the task subject after the record has been created but once you have another message added to the conversation it changes the subject back to what it was originally.  Is there any way to override this?

 

I am sure I will have other issues but these items are not ideal.

 

Thanks,
Scotty
