What kind of telephone services are provided?
• A: Local telephone service is automatically provided and all charges are included in the room rent. Phone numbers are assigned to residents at check-in and service is immediately available. Residents must provide their own phone and cord. Answering machines are functional on the campus phone system. Residents may use 0-plus dialing or calling cards for long distance calls. • An extra phone line and jack are available at an additional charge through campus Telecommunications. This service is payable in full at the Business Affairs cashier’s window before installation. However, this additional phone line is not used for directory assistance in Rice, Rivers, LaGrange, and Lafayette Halls. [Note: The additional phone line is not available on fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of Rice Hall due to an irreversibly severed phone line to the building.] Residents of double occupancy rooms in Hawthorne, Covington, Appleby East, and Appleby West will each have a private telephone number assigned.
