TV, Phone, and Internet Access

Television

The purchased service for Television offers access to a variety of cable and local stations. To order Television service for your room please dial 4-6565 from your bedside phone and follow the prompts.

The service is $7 per day and can be paid by Master Card, Visa, Debit Card or be billed to your home. This option includes a one-time activation fee of $6.50.

If your stay with Upstate exceeds 20 days, your service will continue as complimentary and be without further charges to you. Your service will continue without interruption if you are transferred to another room and will automatically end when you are discharged.

A portion of the sales benefits the Advocates for Upstate Medical University to offer grants for patient care at Upstate University Hospital.

Telephone

The bedside telephone offers unlimited local and regional calling. This service has no cost to you.

Noise control

If using a cell phone, please do so in a respectful manner so as not to be disruptive (low volume quiet or disabled ring-tones, etc). Please turn down your television volume especially when others are sleeping. If you feel there is too much noise that is impacting your recovery tell your nursing staff directly or call us anytime at (315) 464-SHHH (315-464-7444).
