There are three different long distance calling options available for University departments, faculty, and staff.

 Authorization Codes

Domestic long distance is included in the Voice Service rates for each phone line.

Authorization codes allow international long distance calls to be made directly from the University's own telephone switch. International calls can be requested here:  Order Form

 See International Long Distance Rates for Caribbean and international per-minute rates

Toll-free Services

Toll-free services allow calls to departmental phones at no expense to the caller and can be limited to Texas only, the 48 states only, all U.S. (includes Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico) or all U.S. plus Canada. The toll-free number can ring on any campus phone, including one in your department with or without voice mail. You may request a "vanity number" which spells out words or names of your choice (the last seven digits only); if the number is available, the Long Distance Office will assign it to you at no extra charge.

To request a Toll-free Number, complete the order form and submit to the Long Distance Office.

 Rates vary based on call origination, but do not exceed $.09 per minute.
