When you use the directories on your UB phone, there is a handy new feature called Presence that indicates a line is busy even before you dial.

The highlighted top icon shows a line in use, with the icon beneath it showing an open line.

A new icon next to the names and numbers in directories and logs will tell you whether the line is open (with a "telephone" icon) or busy (with an icon showing two diagonal handsets).

The new Presence capability went live to all campus phones on February 23, 2015 except model numbers 7911, 7912, 7940 and 7960.
