Long Distance Telephone Service

  • Service Overview
  • Eligibility & Costs
  • Support, How-To’s & Info
  • Internal

Long distance calls made on University of Arizona campuses can be billed either directly to the caller’s campus telephone or to another account using an Individual Account Code (an IAC is also known as an Authorization Code).

Long distance calls made off-campus can be billed to Calling Cards.

Long distance calls made from campus telephones to Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, or Flagstaff are free of charge when using Toll Bypass. Please see Intrastate Toll Bypass for details.

Request the Service: 

Using Long Distance

To avoid incurring long distance charges, please use Intrastate Toll Bypass when calling from a Tucson, Phoenix or Yuma campus phone to any phone number in Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, or Flagstaff. To bypass the toll, do not dial 1, just dial the area code and phone number.

--

To make a long distance call to a destination within the US:

  • Dial 1 + Area Code + Phone number.

To make long distance call to a destination outside the US:

  • Dial 011 + Country Code + City Code + Phone number.
  • If you do not know the Country or City Codes, consult the local telephone directory (such as the Tucson Dex White Pages) or call an International Operator by dialing 00.

 

Ordering Long Distance Service

To add long distance service to your campus phone:

  • For up to five orders, fill out the Long Distance Change Request Form.
  • For more than five orders, please email the following information to Telecommunications Services:
    1. KFS account number to be billed
    2. Telephone numbers of the phones needing long distance service
    3. Contact information of the person making the request

Long distance charges may be billed to an account other than the account the phone equipment charges are billed to provided both accounts belong to the same department. Long distance charges may also be billed to Federal Accounts (KFS Accounts in the 300000 to 419999 range)

Campus phones may be configured with Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs) that limit calling areas; see How-To's & Info.
