ARCHIVED: Manage your phone numbers in Skype for Business for Windows
Office telephone service for faculty and staff at Indiana University has transitioned from Skype for Business to Teams Calls.
Use Microsoft Skype for Business to access Indiana University's UniCom service.
For most Indiana University faculty and staff, the IU Active Directory will automatically provide the work number that others will see in Skype for Business, and that number will automatically be published. However, you may want to manage your phone numbers using the instructions in this document if any of the following situations apply:
- Your work phone number is missing in the Active Directory: If for any reason your work number does not automatically appear, you can enter and publish your work number from within Skype for Business, along with any other numbers you want to make available.
If your work phone number is incorrect in the Active Directory, see View and modify your personal information (such as preferred name, home address, birthday, or emergency contacts) for IU employees, groups, or affiliates.
- You want to give others the option of calling your home or mobile number: You can enter your home, mobile, or other phone numbers and publish them to allow those with the appropriate ARCHIVED: privacy relationships to see and call these numbers.
- The work number displayed in the Active Directory is not your direct line: If you list a departmental or other number as your public work number in the university phone directory, you can enter and publish your private office number under "Other Phone" or "Mobile Phone" to allow those with the appropriate ARCHIVED: privacy relationships to call you at that number using Skype for Business.
- Only people with UniCom Enterprise Voice will be able to see or call numbers besides your public work number. Only your Workgroup and Friends and Family contacts can see your "Mobile Phone" number, and only your Friends and Family contacts can see your "Other Phone" number.
- It could take up to 24 hours for other users to see changes in your published phone numbers, or for any new entries to be searchable within Skype for Business.
