Switchover from telephone handsets to Teams Voice- 26 November

Last updated: Wed Nov 12 10:21

From Wednesday 26 November, all old Cisco-badged telephone handsets will no longer work.  

Cisco telephone handsets will be replaced by Microsoft Teams Voice, an enhancement to your existing Teams software that allows you to make and receive calls through a dial pad in the Teams application. 

If you’re not already using Teams Voice, just sign out of Teams and sign back in again to get started. 

Find out more about using Microsoft Teams Voice.

In some circumstances, a replacement handset can be deployed. If this is required, or if you have any other questions, please contact the Teams Voice project team through UofG Helpdesk

Security Advice: Scam Emails

Last updated: Mon Dec 2 10:52

We have received reports of scam emails which appear to come from University colleagues, asking staff and students to purchase items including gift cards. 

If you have received an email that may be a scam, please report it through the IT: Security Help form in UofG Helpdesk. Do not open attachments, click links or share personal details.

How to spot a scam email 

If you receive any unexpected emails, even if they appear to come from someone you trust, think: 

  • Are you being asked for money or personal details?
  • Does the email address of the sender look right?  
  • Do the URLs of any links look right? (you can ‘hover’ over a link to see its real address)  
  • Are attachments in the format you would expect?  

What if I have interacted with a scam email? 

If you think you may have interacted with a scam email, for example clicking links, opening attachments, making payments or sharing details, the Information Security team can help. Get in touch using the IT: Security Help form in UofG Helpdesk.
