Managing speed-dial/favorite contacts on an MSU Denver phone

Creating Speed Dial Contacts

The fastest way to add speed-dial (or contacts) to a phone is to leverage the integration between Skype for Business (S4B) and your physical phone:

  • Launch S4B on your computer. 
  • Sign into S4B using your NetID and password.
  • Search for the person you want to add to your Contacts list by typing their name in the S4B search bar (near the top of the S4B window).
  • After finding the person’s contact information, right-click on their name to display a drop-down menu of options.
  • Select the Add to Favorites option from the drop-down list.
  • After selecting Add to Favorites, the person’s name will appear next to the next available line key (or button) on your phone.
  • Press the button next to the person’s name on your phone display and it will automatically dial the phone number.
