General Information, continued
To place a call off campus from an MBL extension you must first dial “9” followed
by the number you wish to contact. Local calls are permitted from the MBL
extensions by dialing “9-508” plus the number.
If you do not know the extension of the department or individual you are attempting
to contact, the MBL maintains an online phone directory at . For all Housing phone numbers by building and room, see listings on
back page.
Telephones at Cottages
The MBL is able to provide telephone service to the cottages over a wireless
converged voice and data network. The telephone operates the same way that any
extension on the MBL campus operates, with the exception that it is connected to the
data network. You must dial “9” before dialing any outside number. Calls to another
MBL extension can be made by dialing only the 4 digit extension. All long distance
calls must be made using a personal calling card or MBL long distance access
code. Incoming calls from outside the MBL must be dialed using the full telephone
number. It is recommended that long distance and international calling cards are
purchased prior to your arrival.
The telephone number and address for each cottage as well as emergency contact
information can be found on the telephone instruction sheet located in each of the
cottages and also on the telephone itself.
Voice mail can be set up for your cottage extension by placing a request with the IT
Help Desk.
