 Phone service is provided via a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) through Nexicom. The cost of each of these services is included in the residence fees. The phone service includes a long list of features including 250 minutes per month of long distance calling in North America and 2.9 cents/minute for long distance calls after the first 250 minutes. For an additional $10/month, students can receive unlimited long distance calling if they wish. There is not cost for incoming calls. There are competitive overseas rates that vary depending on the country and calling cards also work on the system for long distance. For more information please visit www.nexicom.net/trent. Students need to bring their own phone and will sign out an adapter to connect the phone to the internet.
