Telecom: Authorization Codes

Departmental:

Our cellular provider is US Cellular. Departments that wish to purchase their own cellular phones may contact Lorelei Kennedy at 1-1609. She will provide them with the proper forms and information as to the use policy and equipment available. The department should allow a week for delivery of their new phone.
The monthly plan, "Maine Pay As You Go", costs $7.95 a month and .04 cents a minute as long as you are in Maine. There is an "Extended" plan that can be added for $6.00 a month that gives you 11 more states to get the .04 a minute. The 11 states are as follows: NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD and DC. If you place a call outside of your coverage area, on either plan, you will be charged .30 a minute, this includes roaming and long distance. Features included with the above plans are:
Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Conference Calling, Caller ID, No Answer Transfer, Text messaging also known as "Mobile Messaging" or SMS- Receive only.

Rental:

Telecommunications has cellular phones to rent on a daily/weekly basis (with a two week limit) to departments or other campus organizations who have C & I accounts. These units are portable and may be operated from the cigarette lighter of a vehicle or for short periods of time via the attached battery pack (talk time will decrease stand-by time).

Many areas in the State of Maine have cellular coverage, however, some areas in Northwestern
Maine and Washington/Hancock counties will have limited coverage. If you have questions
regarding cellular coverage on your expected route, please contact Lorelei at 581-1609.

Also, while the rented phone is in your possession you are responsible for its care. If it is
dropped, damaged or stolen, you will be charged the replacement cost.

The rental rates DO NOT include the costs for calls made. Actual charges for calls may take up to 60 days to appear on your bill. Rentals are scheduled on a first come first serve basis, so please schedule as many days in advance as possible.
Contact is Lorelei at 1-1609 for more information. When you come to Telecom and pick up the phone, please make sure to have your departmental account number and billing address.
