It enables you to place and receive calls from your computer, mobile device, or\u2014when necessary\u2014supported desk phones. Regardless of the device you use, your university phone number remains with you.<\/p>\n

Transition from Legacy Services<\/h3>\n

The university is moving away from older phone systems and consolidating communication on Zoom. This means desk phones, virtual phones, and conferencing will all be delivered through Zoom. Each department will have a Project Champion who will serve as additional resources and point of contact for their departments throughout this rollout.<\/p>\n
