Phone
For your convenience, your child’s bedside phone has its own direct number and is available to you for outgoing calls 24 hours a day. For parents/families of NICU patients, there is one telephone available for each section (or pod) in the unit. Telephone calls inside the UCLA campus and calls to local Los Angeles numbers (selected prefixes within the 310, 323, 213 and 818 area codes) are free. Long-distance calls will incur a charge.
Quick dialing tips:
- For all phone calls within the hospital or any on-campus departments, dial the five-digit extension (the last five digits).
- For local calls, dial 8, then 1, then the area code and number.
- For long-distance calls, dial 80# and wait for an operator to answer. Calls placed through an operator will be charged at a higher rate.
Visitors and families are permitted to use cell phones.
