CELL
PHONE DISCOUNT PLANS:
USM has corporate plans available
from both AT& T Wireless and Verizon Wireless.
I always advise that you visit both vendor web sites, look at plans and calling areas that best fit your needs and what the current plans are before contacting the vendor reps for additional info. You would want to look at your calling area (do you travel to Sugarloaf or Cape Cod for instance) and how many minutes you estimate you will use in a month, phones currently available & features you may use (such as text messaging). Once you understand some of those basics, then call the vendor for the particular plan you think best works for you & sign up for a cell phone plan directly with the vendor. They will either drop ship the phones to your office or make arrangements for you to pick them up.
Students may also contact vendors for options available to them although they will not fall into corporate plans.
Cingular Wireless, Is now the NEW AT&T! Formerly Cingular Wireless offers a 15% monthly discount to USM employees taken off plans $39.99 and higher. Cingular also offers Rollover minutes and unlimited mobile to mobile calling on plans 39.99 and higher, as well as the largest all digital voice and data network in the United States.

A few notes about Blackberries and our system if a user wants to synchronize with USM's Groupwise/Blackberry Server
1. The Blackberry device needs to be configured for Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) not Blackberry Internet Service (BIS)
2. The USM license and setup charge for Blackberries is an initial fee of $100 plus $2 per month
3. USM will not bill an individual for these charges. They must be USM department paid.
USM employees who wish to do the above really should go through USM's Telecom department first.
