• Local calling
  Princeton University's Telephone Services provides telephone service in all dorm rooms. The service includes local, Caller ID, and voice messaging services. Just bring a phone or buy one at the Telephone Services office in the Frist Campus Center. If you bring a phone of your own to campus, be sure it does not operate in the 2.4 GHz range. 
• Long distance calling
  Long distance calls, collect calls, and prepaid calling card calls can be made with a Personal Authorization Code (PAC). Domestic and international long distance rates are competitive. Current domestic long distance rates are 7 cents per minute; international rates can be viewed online.
  
  Requests for PACs will be taken beginning Saturday, August 22.  To get a PAC number and to sign up for long distance service go to www.princeton.edu/telecom.
