Cost

Review our Networking and Voice Service Rates information.

Who can get it

Faculty and staff making university-business related calls.

How to get it

Domestic long distance no longer requires an authorization code. 

Your Telecommunications Liaison can determine if you are authorized to make international calls and provide an authorization code. You can find out who your liaison is by going to the online telecommunication liaison lookup. Telecommunications liaisons should use the Voice/Data Services Request form to order international service.

Faculty and Staff will be given an authorization code to be used when placing international calls. Charges associated with long distance are completely covered by the University. While you will use your authorization code to make the call, you will not be responsible for the charges.
