EC500 (extension to cellular): With this feature turned on you can answer your campus telephone calls on your cell phone and transfer them between your desk phone and cell phone, all transparent to the end-caller.

Any one that has subscribed for the EC500 service can activate/deactivate this feature by
using a programmed hot key on their desk phone. The service can also be activated from
the cellular phone by dialing 915-1743 and deactivated by dialing 915-1844.
No monthly fee is charged for this service. There is a one-time programming fee of $50.
The EC500 service requires a local cell phone and digital phone service.
