Dialing Change Reminder

A coming change to off campus dialing was announced in June<http://www.shsu.edu/dept/it@sam/newsletter/june-2016/off-campus-dialing.html> and July<http://www.shsu.edu/dept/it%40sam/newsletter/june-2016/off-campus-dialing.html>. As a reminder, this change will take effect on Monday, August 15. Historically when placing an off campus call you would dial 9-###-#### or 9-1-###-###-#### to place your call. On August 15, you will replace 9 with 8.

What You Need to Know

  *   Dialing 911 will continue to work after this change is made.
  *   Off-campus dialing will be unavailable from 10 pm on Sunday, August 14 until 3am on Monday, August 15.
  *   You will receive a recorded message reminding you to use 8 if you accidentally dial 9.
  *   This change applies to both local and long distance calls off-campus.

This change is in collaboration with local law enforcement to reduce the number of accidental calls into the 911 call center. During accidental calls, most callers simply hang up when the error is realized. This requires 911 operators to follow up by phone, or sometimes dispatch emergency responders. These practices are consistent with 911 laws that require verifiable contact and confirmation that the caller is okay allowing the 911 call center to disregard the call.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the IT at Sam Service Desk at servicedesk at shsu.edu<mailto:servicedesk at shsu.edu> or x4-4357.
