In April 2024, we will start rolling out Microsoft Teams Voice as a replacement for most physical phones on campus.
When we activate Microsoft Teams Voice, you will keep the telephone number assigned to you in CoreHR.
To ensure that you are assigned the correct telephone number in Microsoft Teams Voice, please check and update your work telephone details in CoreHR by Friday 15 March.
Visit the Teams Voice webpage for instructions.


What is Microsoft Teams Voice?
Microsoft Teams Voice will allow you to make and receive internal and external calls through Microsoft Teams, wherever you are, on any device with Microsoft Teams installed. This will support our hybrid and agile ways of working and help to reduce our carbon footprint by enabling us to move away from powering physical handsets.


Next steps
In preparation for the roll-out, we are working with Colleges and University Services to identify areas in which physical handsets are still required. We will then check that the telephone numbers assigned to individual colleagues are up to date.
We will be in touch in the coming months to let you know when you will have access to Microsoft Teams Voice.
