How to Bulk Add Speed Dials in CUCM

Adding the same speed dials to a lot of phones one at a time is a afternoon you do not get back. Here are the options.

The native way

Bulk Administration can add speed dials from a CSV, but you build the file, run the job, and find out afterward whether it took. Per-phone edits in the GUI are worse at scale.

The live way

Phone Blitz edits speed dials inline across a filtered set of phones and pushes them in one queued apply. If you want to rearrange which button a speed dial sits on per phone, Line Shuffler handles the layout with drag and drop.
