TELEPHONES
In addition, the entire campus phone system will be unavailable for approximately 12 hours beginning at 7:00 PM Friday until 7:00 AM Saturday. Details are available online (http://www.rice.edu/it/telecom/).
There will be NO telephone service for ANY campus phone, including those in the elevators and those on the emergency communication poles with blue lights. No telephone service means no in-coming calls, no out-going calls, and no voice mail.
