Placing a Call/Fax – Dialing Sequence
Calling on-campus | Dial the 4 digit extension. Use the Directory button to look someone up if you do not know their extension. |
Calling local or long distance numbers | Dial 9 + 1 + 10 digit number. |
Calling international numbers | Dial 9 + 011 + Country Code + Phone Number + the # key*. After the beep, dial your authorization code. |
Sending a Fax |
|
*Entering the # key is optional for most phone calls (though it is typically necessary when using a fax machine), it just speeds up the process a bit. Because international calls have variable lengths, the phone system does not “know” when you are finished dialing an international number and therefore will wait for several seconds after you've finished dialing before issuing the beep for the authorization code. Entering # tells the phone switch that you've finished dialing and forces it to prompt for an authorization code immediately.
