Joining a Zoom meeting by Dialing in on a Mobile or Landline

You can join a Zoom meeting or webinar through your phone, which allows you to dial in to a virtual meeting without a computer. This is useful when:

  • You do not have a microphone or speaker on your computer
  • You do not have an iOS or Android smartphone
  • You cannot connect to a network for video and VoIP (computer audio)

Zoom dial-in numbers

Zoom has toll numbers available for many countries that are included with all plans. For audio plan subscribers, Zoom also has toll-free and additional toll numbers available. The dial-in numbers available are dependent on the host’s audio subscription and settings.

If the meeting invite does not provide a local number for your country, there is a more extensive list of Zoom international dial-in numbers. If a number is not listed or has asterisks (***) in place of some of the numbers, it means that number is not available on the account that you’re currently logged into.

If you have a Zoom Phone license, you can dial in to a meeting or webinar using Zoom Phone without incurring usage charges.
