Conference Phones

Ideal for small to medium-sized conference rooms.  SoundStation's Conference Phone makes natural, full-duplex (two-way) conversations easy without clipping or distortion. Simple to install and use, extension microphones expand range for medium to larger-sized rooms.  NOTE: The SoundStation requires an analog line and can be ordered through GetIT.

Conference Calling

The University of Cincinnati provides three types of conference calling arrangements:

  1. The CONFERENCE FEATURE button on the ITE12 multi-button phone or feature code “#1” on the ITE4 phone.
  2. The MEET ME CONFERENCE scheduled through the University operator.
  3. The CONFERENCE LINE is used for large conferences that consist of twelve or more members.


View the Conference Calling Quick Guide for more information. 

Conference lines can be ordered through GetIT.

Long Distance

 

UC Authorization Code

Long distance business calls placed from the UC main campus, Victory Parkway Campus, UC Blue Ash, and UC Clermont must be made with a Long Distance Authorization code issued by UCIT. Long distance calls will be billed to the Authorization Code holder's department budget number.

A UC Authorization Code can be ordered through GetIT.

Remote Long Distance

Long distance calling for traveling UC faculty and staff is made available with a UCIT issued Cincinnati Bell Any Distance Calling Card.
The UC Long Distance Remote Access service is more cost effective than using the Cincinnati Bell Any Distance calling card when calling a UC campus telephone while you are traveling. A call to a UC campus telephone can be made by dialing 1-888-558-4682 and entering your UC Long Distance Authorization Code.

Cincinnati Bell Any Distance Calling cards are used by UC faculty and staff who may need to make after hours long distance business calls from home or while away on business.

A Remote Long Distance Card can be ordered through GetIT.
