Cellular Phone Rental and Purchase

Cellular Phone Rental
Telecommunication Services owns a number of cellular phones that are loaned to University departments for temporary usage. There is a $1 fee per day for borrowing a phone. In addition, the department is responsible for the cost of calls placed and received on the phone, and for replacing lost or damaged phones. The phones are offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Please fill out and return a Cellular Phone Request Form at your earliest convenience to ensure cellular phone availability.

Departments will be charged a $2 fee per day when a phone is returned late. Departments may call the Voice Mail office on or before the scheduled return date to request an extension. If there are no scheduling conflicts, the department will continue to be charged only $1 per day until the new scheduled return date. In the event that a phone is 30 days late ($60 in late fees), the Voice Mail office will suspend service on the phone and bill the department for a replacement phone.

Cellular Phone Purchase
All University departments and University employees are eligible for discounted wireless rates through various providers. Discounts may include a waived Activation Fee, reduced equipment costs, and a lower monthly service charge. Because many plans are available and promotions vary, we are unable to provide an online comparison of the providers.You can request an information packet be mailed to you or you can pick one up from the Voice Processing Services Office. Please specify if you are interested in purchasing a cellular phone for departmental or personal use. If you would like more information, please call 577-4357 or send an email to Voice Mail.
