Over the years, people have gotten used to dialing extensions at Addenbrooke’s direct by prefixing the extension number with 700. e.g. dialing 7002345 to reach extension 2345.
In the next few months, Addenbrooke’s are going to cease support for receiving calls in this manner. Instead, you should just dial the normal Cambridge number for the extension. The University’s phone system will then send the call the best way it can, either via the direct link we have with Addenbrooke’s or via the public phone network if the link is down.
e.g. Instead of dialing 7002345 to reach extension 2345, you should now just dial 9216345 from your University phone.
If you are unsure on how to convert an Addenbrooke’s extension number into a full Cambridge number, please see the below table
