Students must provide their own telephones. Residential phone
service is provided through the college’s telephone system. Just
plug in your phone and you are ready to call! All Trinity numbers
are the same, except for the last four digits: 1-860-297-xxxx. If
you want to find out what your number is, call Campus Safety at 2222
and they will be able to tell you. Each residence comes equipped
with a modular telephone jack, one campus extension and service
activated to include free campus and local dialing, call waiting and
voice mail service. Residential voice mail is provided at no charge
to every dormitory room through the college’s integrated voice
messaging system.
On Campus Calls
 Whenever
you use a campus phone to call another campus number, just dial the
last four digits of the number. For example, to call the Office of
International Programs, just dial 2005, or to call Mather Front Desk
dial 2053. All on-campus calls are free. To set up your voice mail,
dial 5200 and follow the instructions.
Off campus local calls
If you need to dial an
off-campus number, you must dial the number “9” first to obtain an
outside line. For local calls with area code 860, you only need to
dial the 7 digit number, without the area code. You can call any
local number free!
Long Distance Calls
In
order to make long distance phone calls, you need to use a
calling card
from any campus phone by following the instructions on the card. In
the U.S., whenever you dial a long distance number or an “800”
number, you must dial “1” first. This is understood, so the “1” is
seldom written when numbers are listed. All 1-800 call are toll
free.
International Calls
For international calls, dial
011-Country Code-City Code-Local Number.
Calling cards
You can purchase calling cards
from a local gas station or in a vending machine in Mather Hall.
The cards at the gas stations tend to be cheaper, while the cards
from the vending machine are more convenient.
Internet Communication
You
may also explore internet peer to peer voice services for low cost
communications with home. Sites such as
www.skype.com and
www.google.com/talk are good places to explore.
