Defense Service Network (DSN) Dialing Instructions
The DSN provides long-distance communications service for the Defense Department. Every installation has a special DSN number and the numbers vary by world-wide location. In order to place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from a United States installation to another United States installation, it is unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. However, when dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN area code must be included. The operator can be reached at Commercial 719-567-1110. Please note that long distance charges may be incurred.
