Carleton has contracted with Rogers to provide mobile phone services for faculty and staff business use!  This plan only applies to devices that are paid for by University funds.

Benefits

Benefits of this new VOR (Vendor of Record) include:

  • discount pricing through standardized plans, and
  • enhanced service support.

Ultimately, this will result in substantial savings.

New Pricing

Most people are currently paying $30.00 a month for 5 gigabytes of data (plus overage charges if the device exceeds the 5 gigabyte limit).

Flexible pricing based on data use

With the new Flex option, data service is now tiered every billing month as shown below.  Charges are based on how much data you use.

  • $15.25 – up to 300 Megabytes
  • $30.00 – Up to 1 Gigabyte
  • $45.00 – Up to 6 Gigabyte
  • $50.00 – Unlimited

With this tiered model, the University is protected against overage fees if any device(s) exceed the allotted 6 gigabyte data limit.
