You may use any FCC registered telephone. Although you can use rotary dial or dial pulse telephones, CNS recommends that you use a touch-tone telephone since rotary dial and dial pulse telephones may significantly limit access to current and future feature offerings. If you are unsure if your television is cable-ready, get a copy of our publication, Hooking Up Your STV from the CNS Client Center. In addition to a telephone, you need a line cord to connect your phone to the service outlet in your room.
Most new telephones come with line cords with modular connectors.
If you are unsure of the type of connector on the set you are interested in, ask a salesperson. However, in some graduate residences, you, or your roommates, can arrange for more than one telephone number in your unit. To report a problem and request repair assistance , call the System Repair Line at 3-1611. If needed, an appointment time frame will be scheduled for a technician visit. In such a case, the technician leaves a notice on your door requesting that you call System Repair to arrange another repair visit.
