Marshall University launches cellular phone plan Web page

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall University has launched a new Web page that provides a “one-stop” destination for students, faculty and staff shopping for discounted cellular phone plans.

Beginning this summer, students living in campus residence halls will be responsible for choosing their own cellular phone plans and will have a selection of cell phone providers from which to choose.

Recognizing that greater numbers of students coming to campus arrive on campus with their personal cellular phones and phone plans already in place, Marshall University administrators decided that providing students with cell phone options from many carriers instead of just one was a more efficient and cost-effective way of serving the university community.

By clicking on www.marshall.edu/mobileplans/, Marshall University students, faculty and staff can view discounted cellular plans offered by AT&T, Alltell and nTelos. Other cellular providers also will have the opportunity to have their plans linked to this page.

For more information, contact Arnold Miller, Assistant Vice President for Technology, at (304) 696-2677.
