Mandatory 10-Digit Dialing for 352 Area Code

Beginning October 24, local calls for the 352 area code placed from some phones will require 10 digit calling (area code + phone number). This change is due to the implementation of 988 as a nationwide number to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which goes live on July 16, 2022. This new dialing procedure affects calls made from AT&T landlines within the UF Gainesville campus, but does not affect UF VoIP Cisco telephones. University employees can also continue to use five-digit dialing (i.e., the last number of the prefix plus the last four digits of the number) for calls made within the UF system.
