LONG DISTANCE

What is Long Distance Service?

Long Distance is calling to any location outside of the local calling area, including both domestic and international calling. All University department's long distance dialing and billing services are handled through the Telecom Department. Students are required to complete an application to receive these same services. The Telecom Department will provide an authorization code to the user to be used from any University telephone extension to make long distance calls. The current long distance provider for the University is Level 3. You can apply for long distance service by emailing us at telecom@fit.edu.
