Single Number Reach and Mobility

Single Number Reach (SNR) allows users to answer incoming calls to their UWW extension using an alternate phone, such as a mobile phone. When an incoming call rings your primary desk phone, it will also ring an alternate phone number simultaneously. This is a custom, add-on, feature that is not enabled by default and requires an ICIT staff consultation. This document is intended for users that already have SNR enabled. To request access to this feature, please contact the ICIT TSC Helpdesk at 472-4357 or helpdesk@uww.edu.

Cisco Jabber 

UW-Whitewater offers Cisco Jabber as the campus Instant Messenger service and "softphone" client for employees (including student employees). In addition to instant messaging, Cisco Jabber allows faculty and staff the ability to take and receive phone calls, view call history and manage voicemails. Please see the Instant Messenger (Jabber) page for more information.
