university prefixes explained.

lovely! i have never paid any attention to the nature of prefixes on campus nor did i think there was any method to the madness. i was wrong to do these things:

"This is just a friendly reminder in order to better serve our students, the UNT community, and the city of Denton. Campus phone numbers beginning with 2, 3 or 4 utilize the 565 prefix, while numbers beginning with 5, 6, 7 or 8 utilize the 369 prefix. Please be careful to give the correct prefix when providing phone numbers. Our office has received several calls this week from local Denton residents and businesses, due to students mistakenly dialing the incorrect prefix. According to the individuals that we have spoken to, the calls start up around the beginning of each semester, so in order to try and assist them, we thought a reminder to the campus would be our best way to get the message out.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact myself, or dial "0" to speak with any operator.

Thank you."
