Phone Number and Help

Request for a Phone Number

Faculty, staff, or guests who work at a university‑owned property can request a new voice line or change existing service/telephones by completing the Office Landline Telephone form.

Note: Temple University Voice over IP (VOIP) phones require an active internet connection.

Important for New or Returning Individuals:
Temple University no longer provides traditional physical desk phones by default. Instead, voice service is provided through Teams Calling, which allows you to make and receive calls directly from your computer or mobile device using the Microsoft Teams application. If you require a phone number for Teams Calling, submit the Office Landline Telephone form to request setup.
