Resolved! Do you recommend Zoom Phone for our office?

We want to replace our archaic traditional landlines with VoIP Zoom. Do you recommend zoom over Vonage or others? 8-10 users in a law office.

No way to get my zoom phone number to work without an extension number?

I have a Zoom Pro account and wanted to take advantage of the free trial Zoom Phone offer I recently got via email to see if this service is for me. I am a one-person consultancy, and need a single DIRECT phone line that doesn’t require a caller entering an extension to reach me. I can’t find  anything in your support articles that tells me how to do this. It seems your phone service is totally designed for companies requiring multiple lines with extension numbers to reach anyone. If there’s no way to do what I need (i.e. get my Zoom number to ring directly, without needing an extension), then this service obviously isn’t for me and I’ll need to discontinue the phone as part of my Zoom account. Please advise.

Repeating Do Not Disturb

Zoom Phone users at my organization have repeating meetings every week (e.g., 1:00 - 2:00 p.m., every Monday), and they would like to silence incoming Zoom Phone calls during those times.

 

We use MS Outlook as our organizational standard, and it looks like the MS Office/Zoom plug-in only indicates that the person is in a meeting based on Outlook Calendar.. but does not put the phone on Do Not Disturb.

 

Is there a way to automatically set repeating Do Not Disturb times?

 

Thanks!

Length of time before the Zoom Phone system answers an incoming call

It is taking the system 20-21 seconds to answer an incoming call to a Zoom Number. Why is this so long?
I want the system to pick it up immediately.
Is there a setting I can change to make this happen?

With the new fax feature (very exciting!), I had a question:
I see that I can send a fax using a number assigned to a Call Queue, but it seems like I can't receive faxes to a Call Queue number. Is there a way to set up a fax inbox for numbers assigned to a Call Queue, or is fax receiving limited only to individual user numbers for now?

Hi ya'll!  

 

We submitted a number port request that was rejected by  our current carrier, but is stuck as "pending" in the zoom portal. Ideallly, we could delete that port request and attempt again with different port details, but the delete button is grayed out. Anyone aware of a solution for this issue?

Cisco 9800 Series Desk Phones (9841, 9851, 9861, 9871)

The Cisco 9800 series of desk phones have been out for about a year now but I am not seeing any mention of them on the big cloud VOIP phone providers like Zoom, 8X8, RingCentral, Nextiva, etc.  My rep tells me an internal roadmap shows them as possibly being certified in June 2025. We are very seriously contemplating switching to Zoom phone and the hardware is a big element of the switch away from our legacy Avaya on prem PBX. So far, we are very impressed with Zoom Phone. We've been testing the Poly Edge phones and they are nice, but the Cisco 8800 and 9800 series devices seem just a tad higher quality, maybe more substantial, etc.I like the larger buttons. We like the Poly Edge phones, but if given a choice I'd probably pick the Cisco phones after holding both in my hands. I don't want to deploy the 8800 series (they are certified on Zoom) because they are 10 years old and lack certain modern features like Zoom App Call Control (dialing on PC in Zoom app and it dials your desk phone where your headset is attached). They would probably be OK, but I'd feel bad deploying something 10 years old and would probably regret it.  I'd be really curious if anyone else is waiting patiently for the Cisco 9800 series phones to be supported.
