SVSU residents traditionally choose to communicate using their personal cellular telephones. The University recognizes that cellular coverage may be inconsistent within the freshman residential facilities. Courtesy telephones are located in the corridors of freshman residential facilities. Local telephone service is provided at these courtesy phones and long distance calls can be made using toll-free calling options (calling cards).
Residents assigned to freshman residential facilities who have unique circumstances or would otherwise like to be considered for an in-unit phone are advised to contact Housing Operations at (989) 964-4255.
On-campus calls: dial the last four (4) digits
Example: Housing x4255
Local off-campus calls (Saginaw, Bay City, Midland): dial nine (9) first
Example: 9 – 964 – 4255
Long distance calls (outside the Saginaw, Bay City or Midland area), dial nine (9) first and then follow calling card directions.
Long distance service requires a calling card.
