Summary of Benefits and Features

Factors to Consider

• Penn State has tested AT&T and Verizon Wireless mobile devices to verify functionality with various Penn State information systems. See results and reports on the Mobile Device Application Testing website.
• Wireless local number portability provides the ability to change service providers within the same local area and keep the same cellular phone number. When a number is to be ported, the order will be issued to the new carrier, who will start the process of porting by contacting the current carrier. Orders must include the current billing account number and billing name and address assigned to the cellular service. Service should not be terminated with the existing carrier before initiating service with the prospective new carrier
• An early termination fee may apply if the current cellular service has a long-term contract.
• Wireless handsets are often incompatible among different wireless service providers. A new phone may need to be purchased, even when retaining the same cellular phone number.
