Telephone Rental Application Form

Telephone Rental Application

Telephone landlines to residence hall rooms have been deactivated, the supporting infrastructure reduced, and the phones removed. Residents who desire a landline can request one by completing this agreement.

PLU has a digital telephone system, which means that the phones are different from the traditional phone you may be used to. No phone other than the one provided will operate in your room with the exception of South Hall bedrooms. Conversely, the phones at PLU will not work anywhere else. In fact, plugging one of these digital phones into a standard analog jack could destroy the phone's circuitry which operates at a much lower voltage. Because the phone is digital, devices such as answering machines and modems will not work from your room.

If you need instructions or further information about Local Service, Placing Long Distance Calls (800 Numbers), Opening Calling Card Accounts, Prepaid Calling Cards, or Additional Phone/Voice-mail Information visit PLU's Internet/Wireless/Phone/Cable TV.
