Microsoft 365 Sharing Mobile Number With Coworkers
Employees who wish to be reachable by other employees while traveling, off work hours, or otherwise away from their computers may wish to make their mobile phone number known.
Feel free to mix and match from these options - they are not mutually exclusive. You may choose to do all or none of these.
There is no company requirement to share your mobile number with other employees.
Many members of staff have chosen to only be reachable at their company phone number and not to share their personal, private phone number with anyone. You may choose to install the Zoom app on your mobile device to allow you to make and receive calls from Zoom the same as you would from your computer. Alternatively, Zoom can be configured to simultaneously ring through to another number of your choice, effectively forwarding calls to your personal number.
If there are any questions about the specific requirements for your job duties, please discuss them with your manager.
Option 1 - Put your mobile number in your e-mail signature
Build your e-mail signature using the Folience Signature Builder tool. When filling out your information, be sure to fill in the mobile number and check the box next to the field.
When the checkbox is checked, the mobile phone field is included in the signature and able to be copied into Outlook.
Find full information on using the Signature Builder Tool by clicking here.
Option 2 - Have IT put your mobile number in your Exchange Online profile
The mobile number that appears in Outlook and Teams can be set by the IT team. This is may be useful to have populated because it is the number that will appear when someone searches for you in the Outlook Mobile App on their phone.
If you wish to have this number populated or updated, please send an e-mail to the helpdesk with the new number that you would like used and we will update it for you.
