Overview
This article provides instructions for employees to update the area code on Zoom Phone. Zoom Phones use the 507 area code by default, allowing 7-digit dialing for local calls without entering an area code. Calls automatically assume the 507 area code.
If you routinely call a different area code, you can easily change your default setting.
Note: Once changed, calls to University extensions (389-xxxx) will require dialing 507 before the number.
How-To
1. Sign into the Minnesota State Zoom web portal (https://link.mnsu.edu/zoomphone) using your employee StarID credentials.
2. On the left-side navigation menu, select Phone.
3. On the top navigation bar, select Settings.
4. Navigate to Area Code then select Set
5. Enter a new 3-digit area code into the Area Code field that appears, then select Save.
Outcome
After completing these steps, your Zoom Phone will automatically apply the new default area code. Any 7-digit numbers dialed will now assume this updated area code. If you changed it from 507, you must dial 507 before calling any on-campus extensions (389-xxxx).
