Purdue IT is completing the long-running project to retire the phone switch installed more than 25 years ago.
Beginning after 7:00 p.m. EST, November 29, the following changes to the way you use the Purdue West Lafayette telephone systems will be required.

1. Moving to utilize 10-digit dialing for all outgoing calls. This dialing method requires users to dial 1 + the area code of the person being called as part of the dialing process. However, 5-digit internal to campus dialing will remain the same.

This is a requirement dictated to use by our Carrier and is now standard nationwide. If you would like to know more about 10-digit dialing, the following website contains more information: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/ten-digit-dialing 

• Local AND Long Distance call: 7 + 1 + 10 digit = 7-1-(317)-555-5555
• International call: 7 + 011 + country code + local number

2. International Calling: The current process using international access codes will no longer be supported. If you currently have an international calling code and need the ability to dial internationally then please complete the form at: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1FVkar7IS9zKvjg
