A special tone alerts you of the second caller. By briefly pressing the switch-hook, the second call is answered. You can switch between callers, as often as you like. Each conversation is private and cannot be heard by the other caller. For all medical, fire, security, or safety emergencies, contact the Naval Academy Security Dispatcher, by dialing 33333.
Professional courtesy is important when sharing a telephone.
Talk about giving each other messages. Telephone calls generally should not be made before 0700 in the morning or after 2130 or 2200 at night. Respect the privacy of others. Practice common courtesy with your roommate in sharing the use of and time on the telephone, respect quiet and study time, and avoid loud conversations. Take good telephone messages.
