Daughter just telephoned and can now keep in touch more easily (no doubt much to her annoyance ! ! !). Thanks again

He has no idea who the phone provider is..

Do you know who is the provider of outgoing calls? (Presumably outgoing calls aren't free!) Is the system linked to the university phone system? (can university extensions be called for free?)

Hey, cracked it..... where the number was 0844 3089 XXX it becomes 01482 468 XXX where the last 3 digits are the same as the 0844 number, just tried it, got through straight away, brill! ( the basic encryption, if you like, is similar to the previous postings from 2006, so thanks to those guys for their messages)

I have combined your thread to the existing one. See my post above which says:

Extension numbers can be dialled as:

32xxx = 01482 468xxx = 0844 3089xxx
33xxx = 01482 469xxx

If you find this is not the case, please let us know.

Since the Xmas 2009 vacation, this mapping no longer seems to work. And neither does the 0870 number.

If you dial the 01482 number, you receive a ringing tone, though the corresponding phone doesn't ring. And if you call the 0870 number, you hear a recorded message saying "this service as been discontinued". Apparently the phones still work internally for room to room calls.

Is anyone still successfully using this mapping, or even the 0870 numbers?

Thanks.
