Placing a Call/Fax – Dialing Sequence
Calling on-campus | Dial the 4 digit extension. Use the Directory button to look someone up if you do not know their extension. |
Calling local or long distance numbers | Dial 9 + 1 + 10 digit number. |
Calling international numbers | Dial 9 + 011 + Country Code + Phone Number + the # key*. After the beep, dial your authorization code. |
Sending a Fax |
|
*Entering the # key is optional for most phone calls (though it is typically necessary when using a fax machine), it just speeds up the process a bit. Because international calls have variable lengths, the phone system does not “know” when you are finished dialing an international number and therefore will wait for several seconds after you've finished dialing before issuing the beep for the authorization code. Entering # tells the phone switch that you've finished dialing and forces it to prompt for an authorization code immediately.

After the deployment of the new phones is complete and we are no longer reliant on the legacy phone system, we will take a closer look at these additional features. We appreciate your patience in the meantime!the features named in this guide are not enabled on the Drew phones.

One common use of call forwarding is to forward your phone to voicemail (x4933) so as not to be disturbed by incoming calls. Callers will get your voicemail box without the phone ringing four times first. There will be a single abbreviated ring on your phone to alert you that a call has been forwarded. Please refer to Availability States on Mitel Phones or to the User Guide. Another common option is to forward your phone to your cell phone. |
