Call Forwarding Must Be Updated

Oct. 29, 2021

In light of Alaska’s recent shift to 10-digit dialing requirements, all call forwarding from Â鶹´«Ã½ 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 Â鶹´«Ã½F campuses are changing sometime today.

  • Â鶹´«Ã½F 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 Â鶹´«Ã½F 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
