Voicemail

What Is It?

The voicemail system answers telephone calls when campus members are away or unavailable. Technology Solutions maintains two telephone systems: analog telephones and VoIP telephones. Their voicemail varies in feature sets, from the simple legacy “phone answering” service in analog phones, to the newest system in the VoIP phones, which delivers unified messaging, meeting, calling capabilities, and virtual voicemail.

NOTE: Access to the Unity voicemail web portal requires a connection to the VPN when off-campus.
