New Phone System...

As of the Fall 2007 Semester with the installation of a new University phone system, dial tone will no longer be available in each residence hall room. This decision came as a result of the overwhelming increase in student use of cell phones, the virtual non-use of the on-campus phone system by resident students, and surveys indicating that students prefer using cellular service to residence hall dial tone. As a result of the removal of dial tone, emergency phones will be installed in common areas of each residence hall. These phones will allow students to place on-campus emergency calls to areas like Public Safety and the Health Center, as well as other University offices. Off-campus local and long distance calls can also be made with the use of a prepaid calling card or by dialing a toll free number. Emergency call boxes are also located at the entrance to each residence hall. Cingular Wireless (now AT&T) also offers Villanova students special pricing for cellular service at their local retail outlets.
