Resident Student Long Distance/Cellular Services
- The college does not provide long distance services for resident students.
- The college does provide local calling and voicemail services to each resident student which is available upon arrival to campus.
- The college recommends that all resident students purchase calling cards prior to arrival or purchase pre-paid calling cards at the college Bookstore.
- Cell services within the dorms are challenging and difficult; we have installed repeater cells to extend some cell service within the Berkshire Tower and Hoosac Hall resident hall lobby areas.
- More a reliable service, we still recommend using VoIP phone available from the Computer Support Services Help Desk to stay in contact with the college community, family and friends.
- Verizon and AT&T carriers have the best coverage outside the dorms and city area and VZW has committed to expanding cellular coverage at MCLA.
