Calling Mobile Phones and Directory Assistance

The AUC Switchboard: Dial "0" from any phone on campus

From on-campus, they will:

• Look up hard-to-find AUC extensions (you give the name or department, they give the number or vice-versa)
• Connect you to mobile phones (you give the number, they put you through--this is important because our office phones do not call mobiles! You can also call mobiles by dialing 92 + mobile number.)
