UCL Voicemail System

UCL currently offers voice mail boxes for users of UCL extensions. These are very useful for taking messages when you are away from your desk.

You do not need any equipment in your office and the quality of recorded messages is generally superior to that on most answering machines. Voice mail boxes are ordered through your departmental telecoms contact in the same way as installation work. The Telecoms team will advise who the contact is in your department.

Email requesting voicemail facility to Telecoms should include the full User Name, Department, Extension Number, Email and Location and we will set up the system to make the voicemail live, we will also need authorisation by your line manager to action the request. We undertake to create new voice mail boxes within 48 hours of receiving the request.
