zoom call%20charges

[HATstar]

I have just been charged over £130 for joining a zoom meeting on my phone lasting 54 minutes I don't understand why?

@HATstar Any way you look at it, whatever numbers being offered were coming from Zoom, not O2. Had you joined online using video, you could have just turned your camera off and had audio only. Would have saved you a lot of money. We do sympathise, but there's nothing you can do about this.

The meeting organiser has screwed up, im afraid as they have given you a Chicago dial in number and have just gone on the defaults set.

For Future reference, these are the local dial in numbers for Zoom (All Conferencing tools offer Local Numbers - not always for Free / consumer versions).

It's perfectly safe as long as you dial a UK number.

I'm on calls all day long and don't have any issues.

I spend more time on calls for work than I do working (i'm sure i'm not the only one that this is true of) and no problems.
As others say, you can choose to use or block your camera, so that's not an issue (thank god!).
