After asking the caller to stop shouting/swearing/etc, the employees can transfer them to the line if the behavior persists. That extension offers a recorded message saying that university employees are not required to entertain abusive callers and asks the caller to phone back when they are ready to speak in a polite manner.


The extension was X-4355........................

That's awesome. My company needs that. When patients get irate on the phone with me (not often, but it's happened a few times) I tell them "I'm going to hang up now." I just don't listen to it.
