New Phones- Helpful Tips

As you all know, the new phones have launched!  Here are some helpful tips provided to you by this week's guest co-author Diane Miller!

1.  Can I check my voicemail from outside of the district?

• Dial 215-453-2373

• Your ID is your voicemail extension (222xxx) for teachers and your phone extension for all other users.
• Enter your PIN followed by #

2.  How can parents leave me a voicemail?

• Call 215-453-2765- District Wide Faculty Voicemail Call-in Line    OR
• Call into your school main number (remains the same as the old system)
• From either number, the caller is prompted to enter the 6-digit voicemail extension they are trying to reach.
• The caller will also have the option of reaching the staff directory to get to your mailbox.
• The caller is prompted to leave a message.

3.  How can I make an outside call from my classroom phone?

• Dial 8 for an outside line- *Note-you will not get a dial tone!
• You do not need to dial a 1 within area codes 215, 610, 484, 267- these are not long distance.
• For long distance calls- Dial 1+number
• You will hear 2 beeps and your phone display will read "Enter Authorization Code"
• The Authorization code is your 5-digit employee number (same as your copier code) followed by #.
