Defense Service Network Dialing Instructions

The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense. 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 267 area code. When dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN area code must be included. The operator can be reached at commercial 858-307-1011 or DSN 267-1011. Please note that long distance charges may be incurred.
