Step 1: Approval
Before getting started with cellphone service at the university, you must be approved through the Cellular Communication Request.
Click the + Add new item button. Complete the form, and click the Save button in the upper, left corner of the screen.
If you need to submit a cellular service request on behalf of multiple users, complete the bulk approvals form at 3061-bulk-justification.pdf (uark.edu) and then attach the form to a new cellular communication request.
Step 2: Choose a Plan
Step 3: Order Plan and Device
If your cellphone request is approved, complete the Order Equipment form.
All users have a 2-year contract and will not be eligible for 100% discount prices for upgrade until 15 months after the last purchase of a device. Upgrade purchase before the 15th month will have a lower discount pricing for the device.
All international cellular service requests will be scheduled and acted on as requested. It is important to understand that accidental use of international Data or Voice or Text is still chargeable at the rate that is prescribed. Without an international plan the cost could be substantial. Also, with an international plan the costs are significantly higher than normal domestic prices so the user must be aware of their usage.

Step 4: Set up MDM
