Information Required to apply for a UofA Corporate Mobile Phone
Modified on: Wed, 8 Nov 2023 10:33 AMIntroduction
This article provides the information that is required to request a cellular phone plan as part of the UofA Corporate Cell Phone Service. The information must be supplied to your departmental telecom contact who will need to submit a TEMS order (Telecom Expense Management System - TEMS).
Separate sections are included for new activations as well as for porting (keeping your same phone number but changing providers.)
Applicability
This article was written for employees of the University of Alberta.
Internal Notes are included for the processing of these requests and can be used by Departmental Telecom Contacts and Telecom Analysts.
Details
Please note that requests for mobile plans as part of the UofA Corporate Mobile Phone Service require authorization from Departmental Telecom Contacts who will also need to submit the request in Telecom Expense Management System - TEMS.
As a guideline, we recommend the following for most users when selecting new devices:
1. The device should be basic. As an example, we recommend last years or the previous years standard phone (At the time of this writing the iPhone 15 is out, so we would recommend the iPhone 13 for most users) as a way to provide a supported device with a reduced cost to the department.
2. When making a request for a device, please include the specific info. As an example, iPhone 13 Midnight Colour 128 GB storage.
3. When making a request, order 2 basic accessories, a case and a power supply. As an example, Axessorize Protech IP13 Black in colour and an Apple Power Supply.
