Campus phone system: Bell Aliant network is being configured for 10-digit local dialing (area code followed by the 7-digit phone number) effective August 23, 2014. UPEI's 4-digit internal dialing will NOT be affected by this change. All external (off-campus) dialing will need to have the area code added when dialing, ex: 9 902 566 0424 ("9" for an outside line, then the area code, followed by the local number). All departments should ensure all pre-programmed local phone numbers have the area code included. Reminder: start to program your telecommunications equipment and features now including: phones (landline and cellular), speed dial lists, phone functions such as call forwarding, fax machines, modems and dial internet connections, devices for the hearing impaired, security or alarm systems, etc. Add the area code to your phone number appearing on stationery and business cards, etc. Be sure to include your area code when giving out your phone number. If you have any questions please contact Peggy Court at 0424 or email mcourt@upei.ca.
