Call Forwarding Must Be Updated

Oct. 29, 2021

In light of Alaska’s recent shift to 10-digit dialing requirements, all call forwarding from ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å phones to off-campus or cell phones must be updated. 

• If you have your office phone forwarded to an off-campus phone - like a cell phone change to 

• 8-area code - phone number (local) or 
• 8-1-area code - phone number (long distance). 

• If you have your office phone forwarded to another extension - change it to the 7-digit phone number.

To update call forwarding from off-campus, use .

Below is the general information from the last email. 

In case you didn't catch this in the Cornerstone newsletter, the telephone systems at ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åF campuses are changing sometime today.

• ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åF Main Campus users (including Toolik, Soldotna, Poker Flats)
• Dillingham Campus
• Nome Campus
• Bethel Campus

In order to avoid overlap with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline abbreviated phone number, Alaska is moving to a 10-digit dialing plan for all telephone calls across the state. To facilitate this change by the deadline of October 24, 2021, several updates to the ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åF phone systems are necessary.   

Updates include:

• All outbound calls will be prefixed with 8, instead of 9
• All local calls will include the 907 area code
• 4-digit internal dialing will no longer be officially supported
