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.
