How to use Telephones and Voicemail: Abbreviated Dial Lists

Abbreviated dial lists allow you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each stored number can be up to 24 digits. This feature is very useful since it will automatically dial frequently used phone, PIN, or personal access numbers. On a single line set you access these lists by using an access code. For multi-line sets you push a pre-programmed button. There are two types of AD lists: personal and group.
 

Personal Lists
This type of list allows you to store up to 100 entries for your personal use. Contact the Help Desk if you'd like to request a personal list. 

Group Lists
This type of list allows a group of people who frequently dial the same numbers to store that set of numbers. Group lists can have up to 99 entries. This type of list can be administered by one of the people using it, by or the UIS Service Center.

To discuss your specific needs and how to use abbreviated dial lists, call the UIS Service Center at 202-687-4800.
