Student Telephones

Local telephone service is not provided for students living in University of Delaware residence halls.  For public safety needs, emergency telephones are located in hallways of the residence halls.  The University encourages students to bring individual mobile phone service for personal calling and explore the many available internet based voice and video calling services, including GoogleChat on Googleapps@udel.edu. 

All students are assigned a private voice mail for receiving messages.

Traditional private residence hall telephone service (local calling only) can  be activated by request. The local dialing area includes all of New Castle County, Delaware as well as Kemblesville and Landenberg, PA. Phone line features include voice mail, caller ID, call hold, universal forwarding utilizing the *72 featue access code, 3-way calling, and much more.
