January 4, 2007 4:33 pm | Author: Stephen McMillin | Filed Under Telephone and Voicemail |

Note: As you know, you should not use the departmental access code when making a personal long-distance phone call. The proper procedure is to use your own calling card or credit card.

Each long-distance provider will have their own access number. An example using AT&T is below. For other providers, please find the appropriate number on the back of your calling card.

First: Dial 8, 1 to access the outside line.

Example using AT&T:

  1. Dial 1-800-225-5288 (for AT&T only.) The system is automated, so you can just follow the voice prompts.
  2. Press 1 to place a calling card or credit card call.
  3. Dial 1 for a call within the US or Dial 01 for an international number.
  4. Dial the area code and phone number.
  5. For a calling card, enter your calling card number and PIN which consists of either 14 or 16 digits

    6. or

    For a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover), enter the credit card number and the expiration date shown on the front of the card.

  6. You should soon be connected. If you are not, hang up and try again.
