Why does my Call Forward light stay on?

Your forward light may stay on if you have the appearance of another individual's line that is forwarded. You can still make and receive phone calls on your own line. You should see the word FORWARD in your display if your phone is forwarded. If your display says FORWARD and your phone is not forwarded, contact Telephone Service (x4530). We may be able to remove the word FORWARD so you can easily determine if your line is forwarded or if another line is forwarded.

How do you make an international call?

First make sure that your long distance authorization code is capable of making international calls. Then dial 011 (the international access code), the country code, the city code, and the local telephone number. After the beep enter your long distance authorization code. Most country codes and city codes can be found in the front of the white pages. Remove any 0s that precede the country code or city code. Example: If you wanted to call Norway you would dial 9-011-47-33-401-2345.  Also please see our International Phone Resources on our main Faculty/Staff page.

When programming the dialing string into the fax machine, enter 4 pauses between the end of the phone number and the authorization code.

How do you send an international fax?

Follow the instructions for making an international call. When programming the dialing string into the fax machine, enter 4 pauses between the end of the phone number and the authorization code. This is necessary because international numbers vary in length and the system has to wait to ensure all digits are entered before it prompts for the authorization code.
