Call Forwarding Information From Campus Phones

Unified Messaging (Voicemail to Email)

Unified messaging is the ability to have voicemail sent to your email as an audio file. When someone leaves a voicemail at your campus extension, unified messaging will capture the audio and send the file to your campus email address.There is no charge for this service; you can request unified messaging by clicking on the button below.

Important Note: You can NOT have both unified messaging and call forwarding both set up; you will need to determine the best way to receive phone calls and voicemails between this and the following options.

Forwarding Options

*Call forwarding cannot be turned off remotely*

There are two styles of call forwarding:

  • Direct Forwarding - When someone calls your campus phone, the call goes straight to the forwarded number. You will NOT hear your desk phone ring. 
  • Forward Don't Answer - When someone calls you, you will have approximately 4 - 5 rings to answer the call before it goes to the forwarded number.
