ZOOM PHONE
Linfield has adopted Zoom as the primary provider for phone service on the Portland and McMinnville campuses. Zoom Phone was launched in Portland at the start of the Spring 2021 term. Zoom phone will be introduced to the McMinnville campus by July 1, 2021. Zoom Phone provides flexibility for staff and faculty. The service allows for traditional phones and extends the phone experience into the Zoom App. Users can now answer phones while away from the office.
Note:
- Mac Campus – 4-digit dialing will not work across our older Nortel Phone system and Zoom Phone. To reach someone during the transition please dial the full 503-883+ extension.
- Users will no longer use the 33+extenstion and you won't need to dial 91+number to dial out.
