News from the Office of Telecommunications
Posted on September 29, 2004 10:50 AM
The Telecommunications Office reminds its customers that with the office's recent move to Davol Square, mobile communication devices such as wireless phones and pagers may now be picked up at the CIT Help Desk (CIT 101) during normal business hours (please bring your Brown ID). Emergency replacements can be arranged by calling 3-2007. The move has not affected Telecommunications' telephone numbers or e-mail addresses, though the campus PO box number reverts back to the original box 1885.
In other news:
- A new policy related to departmental telephone services was reviewed this summer and approved by the Computing Advisory Board (CAB). The Telephone Services Policy is posted on the CIS policy page.
- The agreement between Brown & AT&T Wireless has been renewed, offering incentives to upgrade your cellular service to AT&T Wireless GSM Service. There is also a new pooled plan available to users of Brown-issued phones: 300 "National Pooled Minutes" (no roaming or Long Distance charges continental US), unlimited "Mobile to Mobile" and free "Nights & Weekends". [Wireless Options]
- Department managers should note that the rates for international calling within departments were reduced an additional 20% over the summer. This would have first appeared in the August financial ledgers as an adjustment to July’s international calling charges (making the reduction retroactive to July 1). Any questions may be directed to the Telecom Financial Administrator at 3-1717. [Understanding Your Bill]
