Call Forwarding Must Be Updated

Oct. 29, 2021

In light of �Ӱ�ԭ��’s recent shift to 10-digit dialing requirements, all call forwarding from UA phones to off-campus or cell phones must be updated.

If you have your office phone forwarded to an off-campus phone - like a cell phone change to

8-area code - phone number (local) or
8-1-area code - phone number (long distance).

If you have your office phone forwarded to another extension - change it to the 7-digit phone number.

To update call forwarding from off-campus, use .

Below is the general information from the last email.

In case you didn't catch this in the Cornerstone newsletter, the telephone systems at �Ӱ�ԭ�� campuses are changing sometime today.

�Ӱ�ԭ�� Main Campus users (including Toolik, Soldotna, Poker Flats)
Dillingham Campus
Nome Campus
Bethel Campus

In order to avoid overlap with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline abbreviated phone number, �Ӱ�ԭ�� is moving to a 10-digit dialing plan for all telephone calls across the state. To facilitate this change by the deadline of October 24, 2021, several updates to the �Ӱ�ԭ�� phone systems are necessary.

Updates include:

All outbound calls will be prefixed with 8, instead of 9
All local calls will include the 907 area code
4-digit internal dialing will no longer be officially supported
