Using the Phone

• Internal Calls
  

  On-site extensions are 4 digits long. No prefix is needed. The extension number for Station 14.2 is 3848.

• Using the BLEEP System
  

  DL personnel who cannot be contacted on their normal extension by phone, may be contacted through the Bleep system, if the person in question has been issued with one. The table below lists useful phone numbers and bleep numbers.

  First dial 73, then 1, then dial the bleep number needed, followed by the extension number where you are ringing from plus a #, then put the receiver down. Alternatively after dialing 73 wait for the recorded instructions and follow them. If the target bleep is switched on, i.e. if the person issued with it is on-site, it should give a bleeping noise, and your extension will flash on the little screen of the bleep. This person will know to ring you on the extension where you are. To bleep Liz Duke from Station 14.2, dial 73 1 388 3848#.

• Outside Calls
  

  An outside line is avaliable from the station without having to dial any access numbers, except for local 01925 numbers which still require a 9 before the number. A BT public payphone exists in B-block foyer, outside the User Liaison office, under the stairs for international calls.
