I called the center on the phone and got our clearance about 10 minutes before departure. 'As filed' is assigned but our filed clearance required us to take off from Runway 17. Due to winds we had decided to takeoff from opposite runway which is 35. I explained that to the person on the phone and said we will takeoff from Runway 35. He said 'Ok.' I assumed that he would coordinate the information I shared; with their operations center/radar operators. After departure center controller asked why we were heading north.The cause was not making sure the information passed to the right people. We realized the lack of coordination and continued as it is. Flight center should coordinate if clearance is discussed/requested amendment.
Light transport pilot reported ATC was confused as to their direction of flight after departure; due to a communication breakdown while picking up their IFR clearance via telephone.
