Carthage Telephone System

Each residence hall room is equipped with a telephone jack, which operates with any standard telephone. This jack is part of the College telephone system and is a live internal extension which can be called directly from the outside, twenty-four hours a day, without going through the College operator. While there is no charge for this service, the student must provide his/her own standard residential telephone set.

Students wishing to make outside calls have two options. The student can arrange with the college to have outside calling service provided through the residence room phone. Students do not have the option of contracting with the local phone company for standard residential phone service. Or, the use of personal cell phones is another means of making outside calls.
