Collect, third-party, and 900 # calls

Harvard University and PaeTec STRONGLY DISCOURAGES certain categories of calls.

These include:

• Collect calls
• Third-party-billed calls
• Calls to 900, 700 and 976 numbers, also called "special service" calls

Because collect and third-party calls originate outside the University's Centrex system, they cannot be charged to the PBN of the individual who accepts the call. PaeTec will make every attempt to place the calls on the account of the person who accepted the calls. If it cannot be determined who accepted the calls they will be placed on the account of one of the room’s occupants. Students must take responsibility for tracking such calls to avoid placing an unfair burden on other occupants of the room.

1-900, 1-700 or 1-976 Numbers
The phone system restricts premium services such as entertainment and information service numbers like 1-900, 1-700 and 1-976 numbers. To dial one of these numbers it is required that you bill your call to a calling card or a third party number that does not subscribe to PaeTec services.
