Making a long distance call from on campus

1. Dial 9 to access an outside line.
   
   
2. Dial 1 for domestic calls, or 011 for international calls.
   
   
3. Dial the area code for domestic calls, or the country code (and the city code, if required) for an international call.
   
   
4. Dial the telephone number.
   
   
5. Listen for a "stutter" dial tone (two short tones followed by a long tone).
   
   
   • At Indiana University Bloomington, dial your Authorization Code. Wait for your call to connect.
   • At IUPUI, listen for a "Please enter your Authorization code" recording, and then dial your Authorization Code. Wait for your call to connect.

To make a toll-free call from on campus, simply dial 9 and then the number.

Making a long distance campus-to-campus call from an office telephone

You can dial calls between Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI directly, using only the last five digits of the phone number (e.g., 5-1234).

For other business campus-to-campus calls, dial as you would any other long-distance number (see above). Calls made from IUB or IUPUI to any other IU campus are free; they will appear on your departmental telephone bill at a rate of $0.00 per minute. All other calls will be billed at the standard long distance rate for your campus.

Note: IHETS has retired the SUVON service. To ensure proper call routing, UITS discontinued SUVON access as of May 29, 2008. For steps UITS is taking to minimize the financial impact on SUVON users, see About the SUVON retirement.

Making a long distance call from off campus

If you are a faculty or staff member and wish to make a long distance call from off campus, follow the instructions on your IU calling card. For information about obtaining a calling card, see At IU, how do faculty and staff request telephone service in an office?

For information about corporate rates for both domestic and international calls, see At IUB and IUPUI, what is the rate for corporate direct-dial long distance calls?
