EIU Telecommunications Office

Billing

EIU Telecommunications office provides the On-Campus phone service for students. Local service costs are covered by a student's Housing fees. Unlike many metropolitan area phone services, local service at Eastern Illinois University is unlimited. In addition to standard dial tone, our office provides many of the same calling features that you are accustomed to receiving from your local phone company.  To obtain custom calling features and/or voice mail, you must sign up at the Telecommunications Office.

If you have additional questions, give us a call at 581-4357.
