Telephones in Student Residences
Franklin Pierce University
provides local dial tone to each dorm room
and each bedroom of the special living options. Each student and
their roommate need to provide one analog telephone per room for
making and receiving calls, and access to 911. Long distance calls
can be made by using a calling card, either pre-paid or billed,
purchased by the student or parent.
When you lift the receiver of your phone plugged into a jack on
campus, you will hear a dial tone. This dial tone will give you
access to the voicemail system (4100) and any on-campus extensions.
To access dial tone to make a local call or to dial a toll-free
number, dial 7.
