Telephone

The internal code for the telephone is a five-digit number which you find under the receiver; to call from abroad dial (+43-1-)58801 + this code. To call from the University (within Vienna) either dial a '02' (business calls) or '03' (private calls) before the regular number or, equivalently, press the button left below the dial before lifting the receiver. Calls outside of Vienna are only possible through a calling card.
