Hoyanet Services: Dialing Instructions for Residence Hall Phones

On-campus Calls

Your campus extension is the last five digits of your full phone number. To call another campus phone number, dial only the extension. For example:

To call the Student HelpDesk...	...Dial
202-687-4577	7-4577

Off-campus Calls (Local and Long-Distance)

You will need your Personal Billing Number (PBN) to call an off-campus number. Dial 9 to access an outside line, then dial the full number you want to call. (You need to dial the area code for local calls to Maryland or Virginia.) After you dial the number, you will hear a series of tones followed by a dial tone. Dial your PBN to complete the call. For example:

Local DC calls 202 area code	9 + phone number + your PBN
Local MD/VA calls 240/301/571/703 area codes	9 + area code + phone number + your PBN
Long Distance (US Domestic) and Toll-free (800/888/877) Calls	9 + 1 + area code + phone number + your PBN
Long Distance (International) Calls	9 + 011 + country code + city code + phone number + your PBN
900 and 976 Numbers	Cannot be called from campus phones

Since long-distance and other toll calls are billed to your PBN, you can place them from any on-campus phone.

Speed Dial

Popular off-campus phone numbers are included in a student speed dial list. Just dial *8 and the 3 digit speed dial code from any residence hall phone; you do not need to enter your PBN.

PAETEC Calling Card

When you are away from campus, you can use your PBN as a calling card. Charges will come back to your PAETEC bill.

1. Dial the access number from any where in the U.S.: 1-800-466-1116
2. Enter Georgetown's 4-digit location code: 3360
3. Enter your PBN
4. Dial the phone number you want to call
