What is Zoom Phone?

Zoom Phone, part of Zoom’s suite, is a cloud-based calling system similar to other Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. It blends calling with messaging, video conferencing, and file sharing in one platform. Its features include call forwarding, voicemail, and call recording, ensuring smooth communication for teams, whether they’re in the office, remote, or on the move. Enterprises can retain their current service provider through Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC), redirecting voice circuits to Zoom Phone’s cloud for enhanced control and flexibility.
