---+ Phone system

Our Voice-over-IP provider is [[http://8x8.com][8x8]] (pronounced "eight by eight"). This is a brief overview. You can find complete documentation [[https://support.8x8.com/manuals-user-guides/products/8x8_Product_Web_Help_Directory][here]].

Here's our [[http://www.nevis.columbia.edu/phonelist.html][phone directory]].

---++ Voice mail

Dial 555 if you're using you're own phone; dial 500 if you're checking your voice mail from another Nevis phone. You should have received your default voice mail password in an e-mail message. If you don't know it, ask WilliamSeligman or login to your [[https://sso.8x8.com/sso/login][Virtual Office]] account and change it there. 

If you don't want to receive notifications of voice mail (by e-mail) or want to turn it off entirely, you can do it in [[https://sso.8x8.com/sso/login][Virtual Office]]. If you wish, you can ask WilliamSeligman to make such changes for you. 

---++ Virtual Office

You can configure how the phone system works for you using [[https://sso.8x8.com/sso/login][Virtual Office]]. I strongly recommend you login at least once to see what you can do. Your account name is the same as your Nevis e-mail address. To get a password, click on the "Forgot password" link and follow directions. 

You can also use Virtual Office from a separate program on a Mac or Windows system; the program can be downloaded [[https://support.8x8.com/cloud-phone-service/voice/work-desktop/download-8x8-work-for-desktop][here]]. The VIrtual Office program can be set to automatically start when you login to your computer. 

There are also free VIrtual Office apps for [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/8x8-virtual-office/id348177448?mt=8][iOS]] (iPhones and iPads) and [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vom8x8.sipua&hl=en][Android]] phones. 

By using one or more of these programs, you can send and receive calls using your Nevis phone number without being near a physical phone; all you need is an internet connection.
