Accessing voicemail away from the office

If you're away from the office, you can still check your voicemail with the same mailbox options as if you were accessing your account within the telephone system.

  2. The caller would hear a prompt asking for them to input their PIN for the extension they just
    entered.
  3. If the caller hits the pound sign here (before putting in the PIN), it will ask them to
    input an extension and then repeat the previous prompt.
  4. Now, the user will hear the voicemail options for the phone they just logged into

To re-record your greeting

  1. Dial the voicemail number listed in your user account email.
  2. Enter your PIN and then press "#".

How to Use

Who do I contact if I need my phone or phone line moved?

You will need to submit a request to the ITS Help Desk.

I'm having trouble with my phone line - who do I contact?

The ITS Help Desk needs to be contacted. You may submit a trouble ticket at help.unf.edu or contact them by phone. Their phone number (if you can find another working phone) is 620-HELP (4357) or email them at helpdesk@unf.edu

Where may I find a campus phone directory?

There are a few places where UNF faculty, staff, and students can find a campus phone directory. These methods use the 3CX Phonebook, the Outlook Global Address List, and the search feature in Microsoft Teams.

The 3CX Phonebook can be found using the 3CX PBook button on Physical Phones or by going to the team tab in 3CX Soft Clients. These have all UNF 3CX profiles listed in them. Access the UNF 3CX Webclient (it will require an extension and password to log in).

The Outlook Global Address List can be found in Outlook under the People tab and then in the Default Global Address List directory, which has all UNF members, including faculty, staff, and students, and their corresponding information that has been added, such as location, email, phone number, etc.

Microsoft Teams can also be used by those at UNF who have it to search for others in the UNF Directory. It can be done by searching at the top of the screen in Teams and typing in the name, N-Number, or other information about them. It will pull up their Teams profile information with much of the same information as Outlook.

Who do I contact to update the name on my phone or in the phone directory?

If you need to change your name or location, you will need to submit an ITSR - Information Technology Services Request, which can be done at help.unf.edu or contact the help desk by emailing helpdesk@unf.edu If there is a problem with your title or department listing you will need to contact HR as this information is updated depending on the information they have on file.
