[Campus Notice] Prepare for Your Move to Zoom Phone! Training Session on June 13, 2023

[UCR Information Technology Solutions]

Dear Campus Phone User,

Your telephony service will upgrade to Zoom Phone Services on June 15,
2023! Please
carefully review the following details to ensure a seamless transition
experience.

 What You Need to Know

   -

   You are invited to attend a Zoom Phone Services training session on
   Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 10:00 AM. Please register now
   <https://ucr.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_90k4DCzPQh-4kyzC0luHcw> to add
   the meeting invitation to your calendar.
   -

   Upon activation, you will start using UCR’s unified, modern telephony
   platform, Zoom Phone Services
   <https://its.ucr.edu/projects#Zoom-Phone-Services>, which will replace
   your existing telephony hardware. You may experience intermittent call
   issues for a few minutes during the transition period. This is normal as the
   numbers are being ported from one carrier to another.
   -

   Your current desk phone will be inoperable upon activation of Zoom Phone
   Services.
   -

   As part of our commitment to sustainability, the ITS Telecom/Network
   team will contact each Department and arrange to pick up existing
handsets. Please
   note that desk phones will not be replaced. Users are strongly
   encouraged to evaluate the Zoom Phone desktop and mobile applications for
   their phone needs. If a physical phone is required, a Telecom work order
   <https://ucrsupport.service-now.com/ucr_portal/?id=sc_category&catalog_id=6dc6382437e8cb40a2e983dcb3990e88>
   must be submitted. Please read the Zoom Phone FAQs
   <https://its.ucr.edu/projects#Zoom-Phone-Services> for more details.
   -

   Headsets will be offered on a case-by-case basis. If needed, please
   speak to your unit administrator about purchasing a headset (Note: Any
   headset that is currently being used for Zoom video conferencing will work
   for Zoom Phone—no changes are needed).
   -

   Once activation is complete, all calling activities (inbound and
   outbound) will be routed through a new phone icon in the Zoom Meeting
   application, visible to users beginning June 13th.
   -

   Your voicemail greeting, voicemail messages, and speed dials will not be
   transferred from your current phone to your new Zoom Phone account.
   During training, instructions on how to set up your new voicemail will be
   provided.
