Use of Portable Wireless Devices

Invoices will be paid by IS&S Central Administration.  Itemized statements are available on the AT&T web site to department liaisons, who are responsible for reviewing the statements and communicating with device users in their respective departments.

Employees must immediately repay their department for usage charges incurred due to personal calls, text messages or other services.

Employees should avoid talking on a cellular phone and driving a motor vehicle at the same time due to the safety concerns.

How to Request Wireless Service
