Long Distance Services
Calling long distance from the University requires either an authorization code or an MCI calling card.
Domestic long distance rates are 8¢ per minute, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE within the United States. Calls placed outside the state of Virginia (interstate) will incur an additional 14.1% Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) fee which will be incorporated in the total charge of each call.
The FUSF fee is a result of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) action, whereas all interexchange carriers are required to contribute to a common national fund that supports telecommunications subsidies for consumers who reside in high-cost service areas or who earn low incomes, elementary and secondary schools, public libraries and rural health care providers.
