Campus Telephone Services and Features

Posted on: February 1st, 2011 by

The University Telephone switch has several features available to enhance office productivity:

Automated Directory Assistance – Available 24X7, Dial 8411 from any campus telephone and speak the name of the person or department you would like to reach.  After accepting the entry found, you will be transferred to the number.

Voice Mail – Voice Mail can be added to any campus extension either in standard form or an enhanced mode that enables voice mail to be “popped” into your email client as a wav file attachment.

Caller ID – Caller-ID can be added to any campus extension to display the number calling via a display.

EC-500 – From your digital office phone, you have the ability to activate this feature that enables your cell phone to be tied to your office phone so they ring simultaneously. Unanswered calls will go to campus voice mail in the event of no answer. This enables use of your cell phone for business calls while away from your office without giving out the actual cell number.  NOTE: Call minutes will be used on your cell phone when activated.

To obtain the pop Voicemail, EC500, or  callerid features and learn their associated pricing, send an email to telcom@olemiss.edu and we will create a work order to activate it in the switch.
