Overview

Wireless network access is available to family and friends by using the SIU-Guest wi-fi network. Once guests find “SIU-Guest” in their available networks list and enter their contact information: first and last name, phone number, email address, and service provider (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc.), then accept the Acceptable Use Policy, they will receive a code via SMS. After entering the code, they will have access for 12 hours, before needing to repeat the process. If you or your guests need assistance, contact SalukiTech at (618) 453-5155 or salukitech@siu.edu.

If you are signing into the guest network and you are unsure of your cellular provider, you can find out your provider here:
https://www.carrierlookup.com/

If your provider is not on the list, it may be owned by a larger company such as Verizon or Sprint. Try selecting one of these companies as your carrier and submitting your request. If you do not receive a text message, try again and select a different cell phone carrier.
