MITvoip Telephone: Placing Calls

Using your desk phone to place calls is very much the same as other office phones you have used. The basic dialing instructions are:

For calls on campus, dial the five-digit extension or the full ten-digit number.
For calls off campus in the greater Boston area, dial the area code and number.
For toll calls within the US, dial 1, the area code, and number.
For international calls, dial 011, the country code, and number.

You do not have to dial 9 before calling off campus.

There are several ways to open a line:

Pick up the handset and dial a number.
Dial first, then either pick up the handset or press the Dial soft key. While dialing, you can use the << soft key to delete errors.
Press the NewCall soft key.
Press a line key that isn't in use.
Use the speakerphone.
Use the headset.

You can also place calls with the Remote Office feature on the MITvoip Web Interface.

To adjust the volume of what you are hearing through the handset, speakerphone, or headset, press the -/+ keys located below the number keypad.

Note: If you reboot your phone, your volume settings will return to the default levels.
