To call an extension internally on the Acton and Mt Stromlo campuses, dial 5 then the 4 digits you have used in the past. For example, to call the telephone helpdesk, dial 52440 . The codes that the Halls and Colleges residents and staff use to call the Acton campus will also change slightly in the following way. To call the voice mail system from your extension you will need to dial 53333 . If you presently call forward your extension to another extension or to the voice mail system you will need to cancel and re-input the codes.
All telephones installed in recent years have the capability to have one touch buttons programmed.
This enables the user to call frequently dialled numbers with the press of a button. Any buttons that have ANU extensions programmed on them will need to be reprogrammed to reflect the new 5 digit number. Faxes may also have speed dial buttons programmed. These too will need to be reprogrammed if an ANU extension has been programmed on them. There are several ways that you can help to make the transition to the new numbering scheme easier for callers to the University.
