Working with Cal Maritime phones remotely

There are two ways to forward your Cal Maritime work phone to your home, cell, or Google phone number. There are self-service instructions for setting up forwarding on-campus and Help Desk assistance is available to assist those already working remotely. A free Google Voice virtual phone can be setup and used from your computer if you do not have a phone to forward to or to use to check voicemail. Voicemail can be checked remotely or forwarded to email.
