Telephone facilities

Receiving phone call

If you have a mobile phone which can work in the UK you will be able to make and receive phone calls easily, though this could be very expensive.

Whether you live on campus or with a Homestay Host, you will be able to receive phone calls from home. Please be considerate to others and make sure that people calling you from your home country are aware of the time difference with the UK.

On campus there are phones in the corridors of the Halls of Residence which receive incoming calls only. Each phone has a four-digit extension number. The person calling you will need to know the extension number of the phone nearest your room.

Your caller must first dial the main UCP Marjon Switchboard Number (see box on this page). The phone is answered by a recorded message. As soon as this message begins your caller can dial your extension number.

It is preferable if the person calling you is able to understand English.

If there is a phone in your room you can set up an account to make phone calls (for which you have to pay) and receive phone calls (free of charge). Dial 123 for more information or visit the following website greendogcommunications. If there is no phone in your room you can ask Alison, the Accommodation Officer, for one.
