How to get a business phone number with ZenPhone

All plansBeginner5 minutesUpdated August 15, 2026

Open the Phone section and choose Get a Phone Plan to build your ZenPhone subscription: pick how many lines you need, then add your phone numbers and assign them to team members. Calls and texts run right inside WorkZen on web and mobile.

Running a business on your personal cell means every client has your number forever, and every dinner gets interrupted. ZenPhone gives your company real business lines that live inside WorkZen: calls, texts, voicemail, and history, all attached to the client records they belong to.

Build your plan

ZenPhone is a separate subscription from your WorkZen platform plan, sized to your team:

  1. Open the Phone section and choose Get a Phone Plan.
  2. Pick your Number of Lines (each line is a phone number).
  3. Add Extra Blocks if you expect heavy call volume; each block adds voice minutes and text messages on top of what's included.
  4. Consider the ZenPhone Max add-on per line for call recording, automatic transcription, AI call analysis, and voicemail transcription.
  5. Choose monthly or annual billing (annual and multi-line volume discounts apply) and continue to checkout.

Every line includes unlimited texting, monthly calling minutes, voicemail, caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting, and three-way calling. Current pricing is on the pricing page.

Add and assign numbers

With the plan active, the Phone section shows your line slots:

  1. Click Add Number and claim a number for each slot.
  2. Assign numbers to team members, so each tech can have their own line, or share lines across the team.
  3. Set one number as the default for outgoing text messages (the numbers list warns you until you do).

Where calls and texts happen

  • Web: the Phone section has a dialer, call history, voicemails, and your messaging inbox.
  • Mobile: the WorkZen app rings wherever you are, with the same history and messaging.
  • Desk phones: register SIP desk phones and softphones to ring on real hardware. See connecting VOIP desk phones.
  • Routing: decide exactly how inbound calls behave, business hours, menus, ring groups, voicemail, with call flows, and answer around the clock with the AI Receptionist.
Warning

Numbers without an active subscription are released after 30 days. If your plan lapses, renew before the window closes; a released number may be gone for good.
