Don't forget, for those times when you're not making a call using one click with Skype for Business, ten digits are required when dialing Ohio State phone numbers (area code + ###-####) and the same ten-digit phone number for long distance calls. You will not need to prefix numbers with a 9 to dial off campus. The previously used five-digit campus shortcut dialing is no longer supported.
Ohio State’s pandemic response and switch to remote work and distance-enhanced learning was a huge feat for the university. Perhaps you weren’t able to migrate to Skype for Business (SfB) prior to the switch and are unable to access to your work phone.
Upgrade to SfB today and have full access to your work phone and voicemail, and the ability to conference though your computer. Don’t worry, your phone number will remain the same, but if you’ve not migrated to SfB yet, you only have until October 31 to act and still keep your campus number.
