Are You Having Difficulty Dialing into a Conference Number?

If you have tried to dial an 800 number that begins with 1-800-315- and found the number denied in the UAF Telephone system, this workaround will enable you to make you conference call.

The Procedure to use if you are denied access to your 800 conference number is:
1. UAF users participating in State Of Alaska agency GCI bridged audio conferences dial the toll free GCI audio reservation line at 1-800-770-2121 and provide the reservation operators the pass codeprovide for the audio conference.
2. GCI reservation operators will then call the UAF user back and place them into the audio conference.
3. GCI then bills the appropriate State of Alaska agency for the costs of the audio conference.

UAF Telephone Utilities was forced to disallow the original number, while some issues with charges placed against conference callers are worked out. The problem has been that when you make a call to the conference number 1-800-315-xxx, and put in your pass code, all charges for the conference call are sent to the general UAF account rather than to the agency setting up the conference calls.The work around procedure prevents this.

This interim procedure was worked out to allow you to make your conference calls. We apologize for the inconvenience.

DIALING A NUMBER AT UAF

Traditionally all numbers at UAF were in the 474 exchange. As campus has grown, we have added numbers in the 455 and 450 range. By doing this, we have retained the ability to dial only 4 digits to reach every telephone served by the campus telephone system.

This guide should help you decide if a number you are trying to dial is within the extended campus 4-digit dialing plan.

1. If the number begins with 474 and the next digits are 11, 15, 18, 19, 24, 26,27, 5, 6, or 7, dial only the last 4 digits. This range is all within the extended campus dialing plan.


2. If the number begins with 450 and the next digit is 8, dial only the last 4 digits. This range is within the extended campus dialing plan.


3. If the number begins with 455 and the next digits are 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28 or 29, dial only the last 4 digits. This range is within the extended campus dialing plan.


4. If the number begins with 455 and the next digit is 3, dial only the last 4 digits. This range is within the extended campus dialing plan.
