    Telephone instructions

    In order to facilitate the use of the ICTP's telephone system and to ensure quick and realiable telephone services please observe the following points:

    INTERNAL CALLS (WITHIN THE ICTP)

    Listen for the dial tone which is a continuous buzz, then dial the required extension. A long slow buzz indicates the "ringing" signal; a series of short buzzes indicates that the line is busy.

    CALLS AMONG BUILDINGS (LB, EFB, AGH & GGH)

    Just dial the extension numbers indicated in the ICTP's Telephone Directory. If the extension number is unknown please call 90 (MB), 92 (AGH) or 93 (GGH)for the switchboard.

    OUTGOING LOCAL CALLS

    Listen for the dial tone, dial 0 for the city line. Calls within the Trieste telephone area (040) can be dialled direct from most office extensions on the ICTP premises. Staff members are asked to co-operate by limiting the number and duration of calls.

    OFFICIAL LONG-DISTANCE CALLS

    Listen for the dial tone, then dial 90 (from within LB, EFB & GGH) or 92 (from within AGH) for the switchboard, give your name and your extension number and ask the operator for the number desired. Please remain at the extension from which the call has been placed.

    PRIVATE LONG-DISTANCE CALLS

    The switchboard operators 90 (LB, EFB & GGH) or 92 (AGH) will be pleased to help you. However, all the buildings have been equipped with coin and card operated public telephones which should be used. Private calls through the operator should be settled immediately at the Reception desks.

    TRANSFER OF EXTERNAL CALLS

    External incoming or outgoing calls may be transferred to another extension by pressing R on the "Sirio" type telephone sets, then dial the extension to which the call is being transferred, wait for the reply and replace the receiver. If there is no reply, press 2 to re-establish the connection. If you want to transfer the call to the switchboard press R90 (LB) or R92 (AGH) then wait for the reply and replace the receiver.

    LOCK & UNLOCK FEATURES

    First of all it is necessary to change your PIN (Personal Identification Number) which is "0000" by default
    To change your PIN digit  #10 + 0000 + 4 new numbers as your PIN. 
    Now you can LOCK-UNLUCK your phone as well
    To LOCK  your phone (which does not permit any external call) - digit  *10
    To UNLOCK your phone (which permits external calls 'depending on your rights')
      -  If you have not changed your PIN yet digit:  *10 + 0000
      -  If you have already changed your PIN digit:  *10 + your PIN (4 digits)

  • CALLS TO TRIESTE FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY AREA
