The easiest way to make an internal call from one university phone to another is by dialling the corresponding short number (i.e., the last four digits of the relevant public number, e.g., the short number 5844 corresponds to the public landline number 737 5844). The short numbers of the university’s mobile phones assigned to particular employees normally coincide with the last four digits of the landline phone numbers of those employees. If you use a university mobile to dial the short number of another employee who also has a university mobile, the call will be routed directly to the mobile phone of the recipient. When using a mobile to call the landline phone of the same person, you should dial 3 before the short number. The same applies if you wish to reach that person’s mobile from your university landline number. The short numbers of university mobile phones are listed under employees’ contact information on the university’s website.
