Zoom Phone
The cheapest big-brand unlimited UK calling plan, bolted onto Zoom Workplace — with no UK data-residency region and the worst Trustpilot score in this comparison.
How we testZoom Phone is the natural add-on for Zoom-first organisations: UK & Ireland Unlimited at around £12 per user per month with call recording and AI call summaries included, a wide integration list (Salesforce, HubSpot, Teams, Slack, Zendesk, ServiceNow), a REST API with webhooks and an EU API endpoint, and BYOC if you want your own carrier.
Two things hold it back for a UK buyer. Customer content can be stored in Germany or Switzerland but there is no UK storage region, and pricing has been volatile (a large US rise in 2025, a cut in early 2026). Trustpilot for Zoom overall sits at 1.3/5 from 1,543 reviews, dominated by silent auto-renewals with no refund and chatbot-only support — not Phone-specific, but the billing relationship is the same. GBP figures here are from an independent UK review and should be verified on Zoom's site.

*How we calculate minimum commitment. Headline per-user prices hide the real cost of trying a platform. Total cost of ownership is licence × seats × term, plus usage, add-ons, setup fees and any early-exit charges. Our "minimum commitment" figure is the floor of that: the entry plan's committed rate × the minimum seats the vendor will sell × the months you must commit to (one month at the month-to-month rate where there is no commitment; the licence price where it is sold per year). It deliberately excludes usage, add-ons and prerequisite licences, so your real first bill will be higher — but never lower than this. For Teams Phone the excluded prerequisites are the Microsoft 365 and Teams licences.
