Premium channels are available at an additional cost. Sign up at the Moody Towers Service Center across from the FIRM.
Telephone service is available in each resident room. There is only 1 line per room. Call waiting is active on all resident lines. Resident lines are local lines only, accessing 713, 281, and 832 area codes. Toll free 800 numbers are allowed, but long distance, collect and toll calls are not allowed. Because the telephone system used on UH is not Southwestern Bell, the SBC operator can not be reached in resident rooms (therefore no collect calls can be made or received, and caller ID is not available). Long distance calls can only be made using calling cards or 1-800 services.
