Dialing restrictions

Dialing restrictions can prevent certain numbers from being dialed out on your Indiana University Caller ID phone. You can program up to three restriction codes of up to seven digits. If someone attempts to dial a number that begins with one of those codes, a "restricted number" message will appear on the display. For example, the codes below would restrict any number beginning with 0, 1, or 411:

1st code 0 2nd code 1 3rd code 411

In the example above, you could not dial the number 411, but you could dial 555-0411.

Warning: Take care when restricting 9 or 0. If you enter 9, 91, 911, or 0 as one of the dialing restrictions, you will not be able to dial the emergency number 911, or the campus operator.
