Cell Phone Plans - Individuals and Departments

OIT works with several cellular vendors to provide discounted cellular services to University of Utah departments and employees. We currently have agreements with
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.

By following the new cellular policy based on IRS regulations the procurement and administration of cellular devices and plans changes substantially. This is true for both University of Utah department owned and individual owned devices. In either case departments or individuals will be required to work directly with the cellular vendor of their choice. This includes the ordering and the handling of the billing.

For Faculty & Staff (Individual)

You should be working directly with the cellular vendors if:

1. You are purchasing a cellular device and plan for yourself or family member for personal use only--OR--

2. Your University of Utah department manager requires you to carry a cellular device for business reasons and has authorized an employee allowance to compensate you for business use.

For Departments

The designated individual in your department will be responsible for working directly with the cellular vendors if:

Your department is purchasing your cellular device and paying your monthly bill.

You must also be completely aware that cellular policy defines required record keeping for University of Utah department owned devices.
