Using Your Phone

There is a daily fee for telephone service in your room. Please dial (516) 562-2225 to turn your telephone service on. You will be assigned a direct-dial phone number. Please give your family and friends the number. You may not receive calls after 10:45 p.m. or before 7:30 a.m. Please remember to disconnect telephone services upon discharge. There is no charge if your telephone is not activated. You still can receive incoming calls. Use of cellphones is permitted.

Local calls are included in the daily telephone charge. Calls to anywhere in Nassau County, the five boroughs of New York City and Suffolk County are considered local calls. In Nassau County, dial 9 plus the number. In the rest of the local area, dial 9 then 1, plus the area code and number.

To call outside the local calling area or long distance, dial 9 + 1-800 + COLLECT (9-1-800-265-5328). Note: these calls can be made collect, with a credit/calling card or billed to another number.

If you are dialing from within the hospital and the exchange is 562, you only need to dial to the last four digits.
