Teams Phone System

What is going to change?

Your UM landline phone number (8xxxx) will be migrated from Mitel to Teams Phone system in the coming period. After the migration, you will no longer use your Mitel desk phone, but Teams to make and receive calls. You will be able to call people both inside and outside UM using MS Teams.

For whom will this change?

All permanent employees (HR category A) receive Teams Phone system based on a fixed UM phone number (8xxxx). Once your number is transferred to Teams telephony, you can no longer use the Mitel desk phone. Line management decides on allocation of Teams telephony for employees in the other categories. 

When will this change take place?

This change will take place in phases by unit in 2022 and Q1 and Q2 of 2023. The project group will coordinate the required phone numbers, equipment and exact configuration with the contact person of each service centre or faculty. Employees switching to Teams telephony will receive a timely message from ICTS Servicedesk with additional information.
