Zoom Phones Transition in Progress
|
Technology Services is working on converting campus to use Zoom Phones as our primary voice technology. Until this transition is complete, you may receive a “this call cannot be completed as dialed” message when dialing an on-campus 4-digit extension. If this happens, you will need to dial the full 10-digit number, preceded by the number 7 (as if you were dialing an off-campus number).
