Telephones

  • External* calls - Dial 0 then the required phone number
  • Internal* calls - Dial last 5 digits of required phone number
    * Same for faxes
  • Retrieve messages (internally) - Dial 17000, security code, follow the prompts
  • Retrieve messages (externally) - Dial 93517000, security code, enter your mailbox number (extension number) follow the prompts.
  • Skip to next message - Dial 7, during or after listening to messages
  • Record “out of office” greeting - Dial 17000, security code, 3, 1, 3, follow prompts. Remember to save the message at the end of the recording session.

If you are phoning someone within the University and you don’t have time to listen to their “out of office greeting” Dial 5 and you will be taken straight to voicemail so you can leave a message.

When making an external call which asks you to dial numbers to select options, often numbers on the University phones are not recognised. If you dial 9 before you make your selection, this will enable the telephone computing system to recognise the number you have selected. You only need to enter 9 once, before the first selection, subsequent selections are recognised automatically. (Some phones may not require this step, but if your first selection is not recognised, then dial 9 and proceed as normal.)

More comprehensive telephone information can be found on the University’s website at: http://www.usyd.edu.au/staff/people_departments/directories/index.shtml
