Phone/Voicemail and Voicemail Broadcasting

Also known as broadcast voicemail, broadcast message.

CUIT’s voicemail broadcasting service allows faculty and staff to create specific voicemail messages and transmit them to distribution lists of Columbia-owned landline phone numbers.

Broadcasts will be sent to all 854, 853, and 851 extensions of faculty, staff and administrators and Columbia and/or Barnard who have a NetPhone or Rolm desktop phone. Users with RingCentral Unified Commnications phones cannot currently receive voicemail broadcasts. Please inquire to create a custom distribution list.
