Dialing
From Help Wiki
- Campus offices may be reached directly by dialing (360) 867 + the extension number without going through the campus switchboard. You may still reach the automated attendant system by dialing (360) 867- 6000 + the extension number when prompted.
- All long distance calls are charged after 40 seconds from the time "8" is dialed.
- Directory Assistance- The preferred method for directory assistance is to search using your preferred search engine. However, directory assistance can be accessed via 8+(area code)+555-1212 at a cost of $0.75 per call. All other directory assistance numbers are blocked due to our system dialing plan.
