The University has negotiated discount mobile service agreements with AT&T and Verizon wireless providers. All service plans under the agreements include domestic unlimited calling. Smart phones include unlimited text messaging and several data plan options to accommodate varying usage needs on campus. International service add-ons are also available to support frequent international travel.
Note: Individuals who have mobile devices covered by the University’s corporate plan must have a valid business need as outlined in the University’s mobile communications devices policy
Administration and billing for the mobile service plans are handled by the University's Mobile Technology Services office. Charges to departments for mobile service will be processed as a monthly charge to department project grant numbers. For more information about the central billing process, see Billing.
