Telephone Equipment
Your Hampden-Sydney telephone will work only on
telephone lines at Hampden-Sydney College. Your telephone must be
plugged into the blue icon in your residence hall room. Other
telephones (analog or digital), answering machines, and modems will
not work within the Hampden-Sydney telephone system. As an alternative
to answering machines, Meridian Voice Mail is provided. If you would
like a facsimile connection, contact the telecommunications office at
extension 6260. Connections are provided on a fee basis.
All occupants of a room are responsible for the telephone,
which is Hampden-Sydney College property. If the telephone is stolen,
please contact Telecommunications Services at extension 6260. If it is
broken or damaged beyond normal wear and tear (as determined by
Hampden-Sydney College), you will be charged the cost of repair and/or
replacement. The replacement fee for a damaged telephone is $100 (or
the current replacement list price, if higher).
Your Hampden-Sydney College telephone should not be
disconnected for any reason. It
is equipped with an alarm system which will be activated when the
phone is disconnected. Instructions for disconnection of service at
the end of school will be sent in the spring.
It is extremely important to locate your phone in the proper
place where it will not be damaged. Do not place your phone on the
floor as it will be exposed to damage, including spills, foot traffic,
and dust. Your telephone is an electronic device and may be easily
damaged if not cared for properly. Always lock your room when you are
away.
Telephone Repair Service
To report any service problems with your
telephone, call Telecommunication Services at 6147. If you must leave
a message, please leave the number of the disabled phone, a contact
number where you can be reached, and the time when someone will be in
the room. There is no charge for routine repairs.
Note that the local telephone company will not be able to answer questions
about, or make repairs to, Hampden-Sydney College telephones. Do not
disconnect your telephone as this will deactivate the telephone from
the system. If you disconnect the telephone you must request a
reconnect.
