How to troubleshoot an extension

If you are unable to dial an extension, there are a few things you can try:

• Check the number you are dialing. Make sure you are including all digits, including the area code, and that you have not accidentally entered a letter instead of a number.
• If you are still having trouble, try dialing the number without an extension. This will connect you to the main number for the company or organization, and from there you can ask to be transferred to the desired extension.
• If you know the name of the person or department you are trying to reach, try asking for them by name.
• If you are still having no luck, try calling during business hours. Many companies only staff their phone lines during certain hours, so if you call outside of those times, no one will be available to answer your call.

• or if you are calling within the same area code, just dial the 7-digit phone number

Once you hear a dial tone, enter the 5 to 6 digit extension.
