Inexpensive long-distance service is available to everyone on campus. The use of confidential six-digit authorization codes keeps long-distance accounts safe from fraudulent use.

Departments with offices located off-campus can also take advantage of this service. Authorization numbers are issued to individual faculty and staff subscribers to make official long-distance calls from campus and cannot be used for personal calls. Charges are billed to each user's department.

Calling Restrictions

You can place calling card, pre-paid, collect, or third-party-billed calls; however, you will not be able to accept collect and/or third-party-billed calls. Remember that calling card, collect, or third-party-billed calls incur surcharges.

In addition, direct-dial long-distance calling (dialing 1 plus the number) and calls placed to 900 numbers are blocked. These restrictions have been put in place to protect you and the University from fraud. Some long-distance carriers, unaware that the Division of IT owns its phone switch, may erroneously tell you that you can use their "1-plus" dialing plan.

You can access other long-distance carriers from campus phones by dialing the carrier's toll-free, 950-xxxx or 10-10-xxx access number.

Call anytime to anywhere in the continental United States for only five cents per minute. International calling fees vary.
