This article discusses setting up an Alias for easy access to voicemail. From within the web portal interface you're able to set numbers, such as your cellphone or home number, that can easily access your University voicemail without having to enter your mailbox number.
This means that when calling your voicemail box from a number that you have set as an Alias you will be prompted directly for your pass-code without having to enter your mailbox number first.
