01What it is
What Zoom Phone actually is
Zoom Phone works with Zoom Workplace and supported phone devices. Browser access alone is no reason to move an account that already fits.
02The model
How Zoom Phone is priced
Use a Workplace license that includes Phone or a standalone Zoom Phone plan. Regional allowances and international terms vary.
Plan terms change. Check Zoom Phone's own pricing page for its current figure. Airlophone publishes every rate at /rates.
03Where it stops
Where it stops, if the problem is international calling
Check the allowance you already have.
Confirm the destination and any included calling before buying separate credit.
Check web access with your admin.
Zoom Phone on Zoom Web App needs the relevant license and an enabled account setting.
04What we are not
What you would be giving up
Check which Zoom Phone workflows you would lose before switching.
Zoom meeting handoffs.
A separate Airlophone call does not reproduce a configured Zoom meeting workflow.
Zoom desk-phone provisioning.
Existing device provisioning does not migrate into a browser calling account.
Zoom account administration.
Zoom licenses, phone policies and existing records remain in Zoom.
05What changes
What is different the week after you move
Separate a call from the Zoom bundle.
Use Airlophone for an individual call that does not need the surrounding Zoom workflow.

Compare the exact Airlophone destination quote with your actual Zoom calling terms.
Keep Zoom numbers where they work.
Airlophone cannot port your existing Zoom number. Decide where it will stay before cancelling anything.

09Questions
Common questions
Can Zoom Phone already call from a browser?
Yes. Zoom documents Phone calling on Zoom Web App for appropriately licensed users when enabled by an admin. You do not need to switch solely for browser access.
Is a Zoom meeting account the same as a Phone plan?
Check your license. Zoom documents a Workplace license with Phone included or a standalone Zoom Phone calling plan.
Will opening Airlophone cancel Zoom Phone?
No. Treat the accounts separately. Review your Zoom numbers, licenses, records and cancellation terms before changing the service.
