Call off-campus phone numbers from a campus telephone

Overview

To call someone off campus from your MHC office phone, you’ll need to:

  1. Dial 9 first
  2. If it’s not a local 413 number, you’ll also need to add:
    • A 1 for non-local calls within the United States
    • The country code if it's international*
  3. Then enter the rest of the phone number

*International calling is not enabled by default on all campus phones. If your work requires phone communication with international parties, open a phone support ticket to see if this feature makes sense for you.
