Although student local and long distance calls are free, a PBN is necessary to make off-campus calls.  The PBN is a six-digit number that is assigned to incoming residence hall students before they arrive on campus in August.  In order to take advantage of our FREE local and long distance (US) calling, you’ll have to dial * 6 * Y O U R P B N # 9 to get a dial tone.
