How it Works

A telephone point and receiver are supplied to every bedroom in College. There is a compulsory charge of £10 per annum charged with the first battels bill of the academic year. Calls between University extensions are free-of-charge; other out-going calls are made via use of any telephone charge card.

Internal Calls

Internal calls to other phones on the University network are free of charge. Just dial the extension number without any prefix (2xxxx, 3xxxx, 7xxxx, 8xxxx). Staff and senior members' telephone numbers can be looked up on the Email and Telephone Search web page. Student telephone numbers are not generally published to protect individuals' privacy and to prevent potential harassment.

Incoming Calls

The telephone number for callers outside the University is 01865 280000 (charged at national rates). This will be answered by an auto-attendant which will prompt the caller for your extension number.

Freephone Calls

You can call any 0800 number free of charge. This is also the route to getting outgoing calls using telephone charge cards.

These may be made using most telephone cards including BT's Chargecard plus, NetNet, Dog&Bone, Campuslink, etc.

Example: BT Phonecardplus; this is a dual purpose phone card which can be used in both public payphones and via other phones. To use on the College system you would type in the Phonecardplus free number (0800 169 3089) followed by the PIN number printed on the card and follow the voice prompts to get your desired destination number.

You can arrange for a wakeup call by dialling *7 followed by the time in 24-hour format.

Example: *70730 - 7:30am, *70915 - 9:15am

If you need help, dial 1234. This will be answered by the University Telecomms Section Help Desk.

If you have a fault on your line, first try plugging in a known working handset into your phone socket. If the handset is faulty, replacements can be obtained from the Bursars' Secretary. If there is a line fault please let the Bursars' Secretary know and she will arrange for it to be inspected.
