Effective April 2, 2001, ten-digit dialing is required for all local calls within Eastern Massachusetts. When making a local call, you will be required to dial ten digits (area code + 7 digit phone number) to complete the call (ex: 9+508-531-1200). It will be necessary to dial the 1 prior to the area code, when making long distance calls.

For a list of towns that are local calls, please refer to page 7 of the "Campus Directory."

If you encounter difficulties with the new dialing procedures, please contact the telephone trouble hotline at x2499.
