It is also possible to export and update the phone users using a CSV file. The number of phone users that can be exported in a CSV file is not limited in any way.

  1. Plus sign (+)
  2. Country code
  3. Area code
  4. Phone number
• Plus signs are not allowed in some spreadsheet software. Adding the plus sign (+) can be done by opening the CSV file in a text editor. You may or may not see quotation marks in a text editor if you view the CSV file in a text editor. Enter the plus sign (‘+) without creating a formula if you are using Microsoft Excel.

Blank fields

You can use a blank entry for any of the following fields if you want to remove or downgrade an item from the phone user. More information about these fields can be found in the article about phone user settings.

• Package: In order to downgrade the package, Zoom Phone Basic will be used.
• Phone Numbers: There will be a move of the numbers to an unassigned number.
• The desk phone fields (Concept, Brand, Model, MAC Address, Provision Template) are moved to unassigned devices in the process. You should make sure that every field related to that desk phone should be left blank in order to remove that desk phone from the user’s record.

Fields that require a calling package

In order to use these fields, you will need to specify a valid calling package. If you would like to know more about these fields, please see the article about phone user settings.

• Phone Number
• Outbound Caller ID
• Selecting Outbound Caller ID

Leave these fields blank if you don’t want the phone user to have a calling package associated with their phone.

Desk phone fields

There is a field for unassigned desk phones, as well as a field for desk phones that have not been added to the web portal yet. In the event that the desk phone has not yet been added to the web portal, it will be added once the CSV file has been uploaded. The provisioning of new desk phones needs to be done.
