Cellular Service Pricing
This is pricing for University provided cellular services. More plans and vendors will be added as they become available.
**Note: All vendors require a new line of service when purchased with a discounted device to remain active for a minimum of 12 months, with the option to suspend the line without billing for two 90 day periods during that activation period.
