Long Distance Codes
Making a long distance call from any Simmons phone requires a long distance code. These codes are assigned to individuals, who are responsible for all calls made using their code. Do not share your long distance code with anyone!
To request a long distance code, or to request a new code if you have accidentally shared yours with someone else, please contact Brooke Forrelli, in Technology.
Calling Cards
In exceptional cases, a Simmons faculty or staff member may need a calling card. These cards are intended for emergency use only. The charges for calls made on these calling cards are billed directly to the sponsoring department at the beginning of each month. To request a calling card, please contact Brooke Forrelli, in Technology.
