Hi, I am fairly new to zoom and while setting up the zoom phone, extension number #800 was assigned automatically. I am unable to understand the steps how to reset it or delete the extension number.

Any help or direction would help 🙂

Extension Number: Click Edit to change the extension number assigned to the phone user.
Note:

Some extension numbers are special service numbers and cannot be used.
Extension numbers can be 3 to 6 digits. If you require longer extension numbers, contact Zoom.
If you have multiple sites and enabled site codes, the sum of the extension number and site code must be less than or equal to the maximum extension length.
If you try to change the extension to one that's already in use, the error message will show the display name associated with the extension.

If this helps, please accept the answer as an accepted solution.

Hi there

I also recently joined Zoom and have a Zoom Phone number for just 1 user.

I dont want people calling to have to use an extension number - by default it is 800 - how can I remove the need for an extension number?

Thanks in advance

Nick

Hi Nick,

You cannot remove an extension. However, external people can directly call you by the 10 digit number assigned to them.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Shalbha

I understand what you want. There are two options to get the system to work for you. Please see my reply on the following post:

Let me know if that helps, please!

I've been trying to set up the Zoom phone number, but I've encountered a persistent issue when selecting the extension. The same error message keeps appearing, and I'm not sure how to proceed. It's always saying "Something went wrong, please wait a moment and try again later." I tried to use different extensions but I kept on getting the same error message.
