The University Long Distance System (LDS) provides faculty, staff, and on-campus students with direct dial access to the world-wide telephone network. The system utilizes transmission facilities which are leased from major long-distance carriers. An LDS number is required to use the system. The LDS number may be used to place a direct dial long distance call from any unrestricted campus telephone. Each departmental LDS number is associated with a university account number for monthly billing purposes.
The LDS rate for domestic calls is 10 cents per minute, 24 hours a day. International rates vary by country and time of day. Call ITS for specific rate information.
