Photo Submitted

During the phone demo users can try out using the 405HD and 445HD phones and the recommended headsets.

After months of planning and preparation, VoIP phones will be delivered to the first group of buildings next week. Eighteen campus buildings will receive VoIP phones or headsets during the week of Feb. 4, with the remaining buildings scheduled weekly throughout February and March.

If you have not yet had an opportunity to view the phones, plan to attend the final VoIP phone demonstration on Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside the Tech Spot in the Arkansas Union.

Stop by Tuesday's demo to ask questions about this project and also see the capabilities of the new phones, which include voicemail to email, simple transferring features, call forwarding and more.

The first eighteen buildings to receive VoIP phones include: Walton College of Business buildings (WCOB, RCED and WJWH), Davis Hall, Global Campus (GLBL), Gibson Annex, J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. Center for Academic Excellence (JBHT), Hunt Hall, Kimpel Hall, Mcllroy House (MCHS), Sustainability House, Uptown East and West and five housing locations: Brough Commons, Buchanan-Droke, Gladson-Ripley, Humphreys and Yocum Hall.

If you are on this first list of 18 buildings and have not received an email about phone delivery, please contact the VoIP team at voip@uark.edu

As we finalize our delivery schedule, your department will receive a call from the VoIP project team. These calls are legitimate; we ask that you please respond to ensure we have the most accurate phone information. If you have concerns, contact the project team at voip@uark.edu.
