• If calling an international number, make sure that Zoom Phone supports outbound dialing to that number.
• To make your desk phone automatically call a number after dialing, your Zoom Phone admin needs to set up a digit map / dial plan using a provision template.

Note:

• The Zoom desktop client and mobile app display more detailed incoming call notifications so you can identify calls to a direct number, company number, or call queue.
