Softphones
Local IT leaders and ITSPs are critical to program success because of their involvement in socializing and reinforcing key program messages within their areas and collecting data points that serve as requirements for a smooth migration. To find out more about roles and responsibilities, go to this deck.
Thank you for asking! You can help circulate any of our materials provided on our website. You can also help engage all levels of your campus unit leadership to increase visibility of the program and ensure user readiness and a smooth transition for your campus unit.
The Bruin Voice program has also developed a toolkit to assist with building program awareness and reinforcing key messages. If you do not have a link to this toolkit, please contact us at bruinvoice@it.ucla.edu.
You will receive Hypercare for one week after your wave’s migration. For Zoom phone support after Hypercare closes, go to PCR-360 CustomerCenter > Submit Request > Select Topic > Changes to Zoom Phone or General Inquiry.
Please submit a PCR-360 CustomerCenter request if you have any additional Zoom Phone requests after your department has gone live.
To submit a PCR-360 CustomerCenter request, go to PCR-360 CustomerCenter > Submit Request > Select Topic > New Zoom Softphone or Changes to Zoom phone.
Compliance
How Zoom supports legal requirements
Yes, Zoom and subsequently Zoom Phone is compliant within UC policy for accessibility, security and privacy under the UC Zoom Agreement. For more information on the UC Zoom Agreement, visit here.
By default, the Zoom platform announces when recording has been enabled on audio, which includes Zoom Phone. There is also a verbal announcement when turning on voice transcription on a Zoom Phone call.
Under UCLA Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) advisement and UC compliance standards, Zoom Phone utilizes the appropriate security protocols to be PCI Compliant. To increase security, call recording and forwarding to external numbers is not available for campus units that take payment over the phone. For more information on security see Zoom Compliance and Security.
Any Zoom user, including students, are able to add their phone number in Zoom voluntarily, even if they do not have Zoom Phone. For reference, telephone numbers are considered directory information under FERPA at UCLA.

One of the reasons the campus decided to proceed is that it is expected to cost less overall. Long-term, the cost to replace physical equipment is ~30% the current cost for recommended models and we will see a reduction in administrative overhead, due to the decreased number of systems being supported.
Campus units are still responsible for current monthly rates for phone lines, which is currently $16.09/month.
| COSTS | Responsibility of |
|---|---|
| Processing/Service Provisioning | Project, during migration |
| E-Waste | Project, during migration |
| Disconnecting Lines | Project, during migration |
| Emergency Lines stripped of business functionality | Project, during migration |
| Physical Devices | Campus units |
New Hires, Transfers, Personnel Changes
... and what they need to do for Zoom Phone.
If you wish to keep the Zoom phone number to reassign to another user, go to PCR-360 CustomerCenter > Submit Request > Select Topic > Changes to Zoom Phone.
Please submit a PCR-360 CustomerCenter request to either disconnect the line for the employee who left or transfer the line to the new department. Go to PCR-360 CustomerCenter > Submit Request > Select Topic > Changes to Zoom Phone.
Once the Bruin Voice project ends and goes into steady state, new hires will have Zoom Phone upon hire. They can only share lines with other users that have Zoom Phone.
It will take 1-2 days for a new Zoom user to obtain a Zoom license. Once the user has logged into Zoom, you can request a Zoom Phone which takes an additional 3-5 business days.
Network and Connectivity
Please see the networking requirementshere.
Apple is still looking into issues with M1/M2 wireless connectivity issue. Please use this link to IT Services Status page for intermittent connectivity issues and workarounds.
Please refer to this quick guide for network requirements.
Native IPv6 is the internet protocol to support physical phones.
Phone Numbers & Lines
Specific questions about phone numbers.
Existing campus phone numbers will be retained and transferred onto Zoom Phone. In some rare cases, an existing phone number cannot be transferred. In this case, we will work with you to assign a new campus phone number.
Timeline
Physical Phones lines are currently being migrated. All departments should have either submitted their workbooks or in the process of working on their workbooks, depending on wave. This effort will include users connected to shared lines on physical phones.
The first group of lines were disconnected at the end of 2023. The rest of the lines will be disconnected by the end of the Bruin Voice project.
