Phone Calls
Your Drew Phone
See “Drew Virtual Time Scenario” for steps on setting up your phone while you are away with the University's recommended message
Any voicemails received to your personal extension should also generate an email to your Drew address with a wav file recording of the message
If you have not been receiving these emails, please email helpdesk@drew.edu from your Drew address - identify your extension
To call and check your voicemail, dial 973-408-4933
Placing calls
Calling others from your home or cell phone may result in your number not being recognized and allowed to go to voicemail. Consider using email for most communications, or see below.
If there is concern about protecting your personal phone number when making a business call, consider dialing *67 followed by the number. This will hide caller ID for the phone call (but must be repeated every time you wish to hide your number).
Alternatives
In a situation where email is simply not adequate, consider the following alternatives.
