Phones

At the university where I am currently working you cannot dial any number off campus without our 7 digit code. Even toll free numbers.

This wouldn't be horrible if this number worked most of the time. It does not. I think I have successfully dialed out 2 or 3 times. I now just use my cell phone, but only after i pick up the lab phone, remember it sucks and put it back in the holder cursing. This number also doesn't work for faxes. I have to try a number of different variations of waiting between entering the 3 different sets of numbers I need to enter and how fast I type these numbers in until it goes. Then of course I don't trust this machine since it takes me 14 tries to get the fax to "send" I need to do this whole dance twice separated by at least 2 minutes. If I try to send the fax immediately after the phone will go to the nice recorded lady that tells me that I dialed incorrectly.

I just need to make my cell phone send faxes. Then I won't ever have to deal with entering the code over and over and over again.
