Intercom

We have an intercom at work. And any individual can page anyone else from their phone.

Just now there was a humerous exchange over said intercom:

Bill over intercom: Dave C, please call 236. Dave, please call 236.
a few seconds pass….
Mike A. over intercom: Dave C, please call 143. Dave, Please call 143.
a few seconds pass….
Bill over intercom: Dave, please disregard the 143 page. Call 236 instead.

    My favorite thing to do is page the person from their desk. It really freaks people out when they realize that you’re sitting at their computer…

    So could I call into your intercom system MikeD? Send me an email with the intercom number and i’ll try. I’ll page you to call extension 234.

    Alas, you can’t call in and page. It’s an internal system. Good thinking though.

    Do you reach it by an extension? Like extension 3456 is the Intercom. CouldI call the switchboard, or automated answering service asking me to type in my parties extension. Would that then make it internal, cause its the switchboard connecting me not the external phone company?

    by design, the company pbx system should know the intercom extension and know that its not accessible from the outside.

    but wow, if it didn’t… you could intercom spam the entire office!

    “Mike D, visit PARTY POKER DOT COM!”

    I think it would be pretty funny if every couple of days I heard Kurt over the intercomm with some random message such as “Mike DiDonato, please wake up.” or “Mike DiDonato, stop looking at pornography.”
