From: Tara Brant, Manager, Technology Service Desk

Verizon will begin to ship iPhones beginning Wednesday, February 9, and the TechDesk is now accepting orders. Before placing an order, please consider the following points:

• Departments may incur an early contract termination fee if the existing service provider’s contract has not expired.
• There’s no guarantee Verizon’s service will be an improvement.
• Given high demand, there may be delays up to 20 days after the request is submitted and before you receive your iPhone.

Follow the procedures below to order an iPhone.

A. Current iPhone Customers
Customers who currently have a UC owned iPhone and want to move to the Verizon network and keep their current phone number, must complete two forms:

• SmartPhone Service form. Submit this form to order the phone.
• Local Port form (the “Other Smartphone Services” form). Select the “local port” checkbox.

B. New iPhone Customers
Customers who want to get a UC owned iPhone for the first time must complete one form:

• SmartPhone Service form

Additional information is provided on the Verizon Web site. If you have questions, please contact the TechDesk at TechDesk@ucop.edu or 987-0457.
