We removed our phones from residences a couple of years ago, and did not he=
ar a complaint.
The only exceptions were a couple of international students who don't yet h=
ave cell phones due to lack of credit in the states.
For them we will  install a phone in their room.
We have a courtesy phone on each floor. When they "break" we replace them w=
ith a stainless steel, vandal resistant set:

Keep in mind though that with enough free time, preceded by certain activit=
ies, it appears that any phone can be destroyed.

Subject: Courtesy Phone Equipment

We've been working on reducing the number of telephone lines offered in stu=
dent rooms for the past couple of years, but are finally to the point where=
 we get to start phasing them out completely.  This will be a multi-year pr=
ocess as the income from our lines is linked into the financing plan for ou=
r fancy VoIP system.

It's been decided that there will be some courtesy phones in each building =
so there is something available in an emergency.  Now we need to come up wi=
th the best solution to install.  I am hoping that some folks may be able t=
o share what they are doing.

Here are some of our options:

 *   Go back to the good old days of cheap analog phones on the wall that w=
e can easily replace if they get damaged.
 *   Install VoIP phones similar to what we have in offices.
 *   Use some sort of hardened phone with emergency button, similar to what=
 we have outside front doors.
 *   Something else?
Also, how many of these do you think is "enough"?  One per building? One pe=
r lounge? Per floor?

Thanks!
