Correct use of campus phone services can save your department money

Here are some telephone tips that can save money and time:

  • Calling overseas or long distance from your campus desk phone? Always dial 8 first. Overseas calls are likely to connect to a cellphone, and dialing 9 first can result in very high charges.
  • For local calls and toll-free calls, dial 9.
  • When you finish checking your voice mails by telephone, always press the star key (*) to make sure the voice mail system disconnects.
  • Use Web Phone Manager to manage your voice mail messages.
