USNH Phone Audit
To Know: Enterprise Technology & Services Telecommunications is providing departments with an opportunity to avoid future costs, including maintenance, infrastructure use, and equipment upgrades by asking employees to identify underutilized phones through March 31.
If you do not require a phone, Telecom can disconnect and remove the desk phone. Or if you prefer to have an assigned phone number just for voicemail purposes, we can convert it to a virtual voicemail box number. Consult with your supervisor as appropriate. Although the audit runs through March 31, you can change your phone service anytime using the link below.
To Do: If you need a change to your phone service, please submit the form at this link https://telecom.usnh.edu/apps/summit?action=phoneServiceAudit noting which option best meets your needs.
Reminder: Teams Meetings
