What telephone/voicemail services are provided for students at BGSU?
Bowling Green State University provides voicemail services to all students who have a 214 phone number (e.g. students in residence halls and Greek units). Residences contain one analog telephone line with Caller-ID capability and an inactive voice mailbox. A telephone is not provided. Voicemail can be activated only at the 214 number published under the student’s name for the on campus residence that he/she was assigned. Until voicemail is activated, if the student resident is on the phone or doesn’t answer the phone, after 4 rings callers will hear a voice message saying “You have reached a student room at BGSU that does not have the voice mail set up, please find another way to contact the student.” If you are a student resident with a 214 phone number and the students who share the phone with you want to use the voicemail system to get messages or just record a message to tell others how they can contact you, you need to activate your voicemail through the Technology Support Center
