Overview
Mobile Phones are provided to improve employee productivity and customer service. It must be established that the employee has a business need for the device as defined and approved by their supervisor (i.e. works regularly in the field, responsible for critical services).
The device that has been provided to employees is an expensive productivity tool. By taking possession of the corporate device you agree to exercise care and responsibility for the device. You are responsible for the acceptable use of the device, and the physical care of the device, including the use of an approved case for the mobile device.
Plans
Corporate Plan
Laurentian University has an established Corporate Plan which provides excellent features at a discounted cost. All faculty and staff who have a mobile device provided to them by the university are required to use this plan.
It is prohibited for a university department or employee to create unique accounts. All accounts must be created via the Office of Procurement and Contracts.
Corporate mobile devices are typically provided to full-time faculty and staff that perform one or more of the various functions:
- Support mission-critical systems
- Have travel responsibilities
- Require on-campus mobility
- Manage operational staff
Personal Plan
Laurentian University is not responsible for the phone or any of the costs that are incurred with an individual/personal plan.

Travel Outside of Canada
Employees should inform Risk & Insurance Services of their trips in advance. Any employee who travels on the University’s business must clear the use of the University-owned Mobile Phone with Office of Procurement and Contracts prior to the trip. Employees must inform the Office of Procurement and Contracts of the destination and duration of their trip. Failure to do so may result in the employee being held responsible for any associated costs.
Faculty and Staff who will incur substantial long distance charges on a regular basis must contact Office of Procurement and Contracts in advance to discuss cost saving add-ons to their device to ensure the costs associated are reasonable and managed. Costs incurred without an appropriate add-on package may be charged back to the individual.
