Campus Telephone Systems

What is it?

UNC Asheville provides the majority of our phone services via a Voice Over IP (VOIP) system. This provides intra-campus calling, external local calling and long distance access.  Full line features (conferencing, call forward, etc.)  and voice mail are included. Specialty phone services (e.g. elevator phone, etc.) are also provided via the more traditional analog circuitry.

When is it available?

This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the exception of upgrades, maintenance, and scheduled outages.

Who can use it?

All current faculty, staff and students.

How much does it cost?

Departments are charged for long distance and shared cost of outside (PRI) circuits.
