Telephone

Each room is equipped with telephone service, and you provide your own telephone. In order to place outgoing calls you need to press 9 + number.

Already included in your rent is the cost of your line's monthly service charge and unlimited local calls. Phone fraud (which includes unauthorized use of a long distance calling card/code) is illegal and will result in disciplinary action including suspension, restitution and possible legal action.

If you are the victim of a prank call, while the caller is still on the line, quickly depress and release switch hook (flash button if hand held), then dial 83, and hang up. Then, call Campus Safety (3321), and tell them you've dialed the 83 and need the call traced. They will later retrieve a report from ITS (during office hours). In addition, you may choose to complete a report (available at the West Desk), and take it to Campus Safety. It may help you recall and document important details of the call.

In consideration of your roommate and hallmates, please talk quietly and limit late night calls. If you feel you must talk in the hall, please speak near a whisper, so you won't be asked to terminate your call.
