Telephone Service for Students

Telephone service is provided in every on-campus residence

University IT provides basic phone service and a network connection with multiple IP addresses in every on-campus residence. Most single rooms have phones; quads share one phone, usually located in the common area. To learn your telephone number, dial 724-8778 from the phone provided (not available in Escondido Village Graduate Residences, Schwab Residential Center, and Lyman Graduate Residence).

All residents in Stanford student housing are assessed a technology fee on their university bill. Basic phone service and network service are included in this fee. For more information, visit the Housing Rates and Billing Information page.

Note: Collect calls cannot be received; they are blocked outside Stanford by the local provider.
