What will a caller hear if the greeting is not set up yet?

For Find Me, does it need to be a local number or can it be a long-distance number?

It can be a long-distance number. It's managed by locations. If you need to change the number to be reached you would change your location and set up a number for that location.

  • NOTE: when adding alternate numbers and on campus number will need to be entered in five-digit format: 12345 (no dash), and all off campus numbers need to be entered 91(area code)(seven digit number) regardless of local or long distance.

To log in using the web you would use your campus credentials (same as logging into your campus computer) or if you don’t have campus credentials you would log in with the five-digit extension and a default web password.
