Want a Residence Phone?
All residence students can now order a residence phone from University Technology Services (UTS) to be set up in their rooms.
Link: http://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/maconline...linevoice.html
It's super easy - go to the link at the bottom of the page, sign in, check over your information and click submit.
Why get a res phone?
- You can make free local calls
- Free incoming calls
- Your own McMaster extension (i.e. 905-525-9140 ext. 11111)
- Can act as your line for work/employers instead of your personal cell number
- Voicemail
- Easy to directly connect to other McMaster extensions
- It's included in your residence fee
