Anonymous inbound calling

We have a Voicemailbox for compliance, and we can't capture any data that could be tied to an employee.  Is there a way to have a VM box not capture the who called #..  or anyway to mask it only for the one number?

 

Thanks!

Voicemail suppression when Shared Phone Group toggled off

We have a shared phone group for our front reception desk that has a few members of our administrative staff who rotate behind the desk when our dedicated reception is out of the office. Recently, they brought to our attention that they get bombarded with voicemails from the main office line when they have the shared phone group turned off.

 

Is there a setting that I am overlooking that includes suppression of them getting voicemails on top of phone calls when they toggle off the shared group as they no longer need to be answering calls from that line?

For a new user, it is difficult for me to find an intuitive way to configure our only phone number. When a help document says go to Settings, I can't figure out how to get to a screen for phone settings.
We are a small nonprofit with a single phone number where our callers will be prompted to leave a message that we hope will be transcribed and sent to a designated email address. So here is what I am looking for:

1- An easy way to get to phone management interface as this is the primary Zoom service we will start out with.

2- Upload a greeting recording audio file,

3- Configure incoming voice messages to be transcribed automatically

4- Enter an email address where the transcriptions are emailed by default.

 

Once the above is done, I need to find out a way to give our receptionist access to the phone interface so they can login and make & receive phone calls.

Please guide me like you would guide a 5th grader to documentation where I can learn to do all of the above.

 

Thank you.

Is there a way to mark all voicemails as "Read" at one time?

I am an assistant to someone who currently has about 800 "unread" voicemails in his Zoom voicemail box. Our voicemails also go to our email inboxes, so that's how the person I assist reads/listens to his voicemails. I've logged into the web Zoom app and can see where I can select all voicemails a month at a time, but I can't find any option available to mark everything as "read." I can only find options to delete them all or to mark them all as "unread."

 

Seems weird that I can easily delete everything, but not just mark everything as "read."

 

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Ease of use - updating a personal voice mail greeting

The process of using Zoom.us to update a personal voice mail greeting feels unnecessarily cumbersome.  Once logged in to the site the user has to remember if they are supposed to update Greeting & Menu: Connect to operator or leave voicemail  or are they supposed to update Leave voicemail instruction?

 

Once in the correct section it's 7 additional clicks to get to the point they can re-record their greeting.  

I'll ignore the fact that I can't prevent users from using the Zoom text to speech feature or at least eliminate the terribly unprofessional voice options.

 

It's too much for some users.  To that end I've considered having them use *86 to simply record over their previous greeting.  Doing so mimics traditional phone systems.  Without having to remember *86 or use the Zoom.us process, how can a user gain access to their mailbox setup?  I can't create a contact since *86 is an invalid phone number format.  

 

Any suggestions?

I have 1 user at my company where their voicemails do not show up in the Zoom Workplace app.  Has anyone every encountered this before?  The app shows that she has however many unread voicemails, but she cannot see them.

 

I setup a desk phone for her for the time being so that she can clear them out.

 

Thank you!

Clarification on U.S. Phone Plan (Metered / Pay-as-you-go) for Use from the Philippines

I'm based in the Philippines and I need a U.S. phone number primarily to receive voicemails, SMS, and sometimes calls from the U.S. However, I also need the ability to make outbound calls and send SMS to the U.S.. Note that outbound calls to the US will be rare and usually short.

 

I'm considering the most basic plan ($10/month) since I don’t need unlimited calling. Would this plan cover my needs? Thanks!

Cannot forward voicemail to Common Area desk phone

Hi all,

 

We've got a number of common area desk phones, and sometimes one gets voicemail intended for the other. The issue is we can't seem to forward these voicemails to other common area phones. 

When we listen to a voicemail and press 6 to forward it, we're prompted to enter the extension. When we enter the extension of a common area phone, we get the message "Your entry is invalid. Please try again."

 

This seems to happen with any common area extension, and when attempting to transfer from either a desk phone or a softphone. Voicemails are able to be transferred to Users or Call Queues with no issue.

 

Is this a restriction of common areas we're not aware of? I can't find any documentation on this specific issue.

 

Thanks!
