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.

Hi, 

I was using Zoom to make a phone call, when i realized all of my text messages have disappeared!  When i logged into the app on my desktop, they were all there, and when a client texted me, our full conversation popped back up.  Is there any way to recover the messages onto my phone?  i'm often communicating with clients away from my laptop and need our chat history.  

 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Team,

 

We recently signed up for Zoom Phone and used the service for a brief period (1–2 days), during which we also ported in our business number.

 

Unfortunately, our account was permanently suspended due to a reported violation. As a result, we are unable to log into our account or access any information.

 

We submitted an appeal to have our number released or ported out, but the appeal was rejected without any explanation or details provided.

 

This number is extremely important to us as it is actively used for our day-to-day business operations, and the current situation is causing major disruptions.

 

I would appreciate your help.

 

Best Regards,

Hello,

We’ve just signed up for the Zoom Business Phone plan and completed the number porting process from Skype. However, when we try to make a call through Zoom, we get the following message:
“Sorry, the requested service is not available in your calling plan.”
We subscribed to a business phone plan, so we’re not sure why it’s not working.

Additionally, during the porting process, an #800 extension was added to our number — we didn’t request this and would like to have it removed.

Could you please help us resolve these issues?

Thank you!

MISSED CALLS NOT SHOWING

If I am on a call and another call comes into the queue - we have it set not to ring to me - but it isn't in my list of missed calls so that I can call someone back - the call only shows on someone's phone who wasn't on the phone when the phone rang Show more
