Cell Phone Purchase

The university provides mobile phones to facilitate communication as required by staff. It is possible to get either a "feature" phone or a "smart" phone. We have standard voice, text, data and international travel options.

The Steps

  1. Review and sign the Department of Administration's Mobile Device Policy document. Give a copy of this to your supervisor for your personnel file; it is your supervisor's responsibility to maintain all AT&T records associated with your device.
  2. Refer to Administrative Policy AP-05-201 Wireless Handheld and Data Services for usage restrictions and monthly auditing requirements.
  3. Your supervisor will receive an email from wireless.att.com and they will need to setup their account. Then monthly, they need to download your bill and review it with you based on the requirements of the above policies.
  4. If you ordered an iPhone, DoTS will set up an appointment with you to activate the phone. Bring your signed policy document with you, if you did not send it in already. Basic phones are shipped directly to you (or your supervisor) and will require a signed document in advance of ordering.
