Cellular Phones

James Madison University Policy No. 1505 requires that the university will provide cell phones for shared departmental use only. All university provided departmental cell phones must be approved by the appropriate senior vice president prior to phone purchase and service contract implementation. An approved written request and justification must be submitted to Telecommunications. Cell phone and service plan must be purchased from the options available on the mandatory Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) contract. Telecommunications will submit a Telecommunications Service Request (TSR) to VITA. Additional information regarding procurement of departmental cellular phones for university use is available on the Telecommunications website.

For short term cell phone rentals, please call Telecommunications at 568.6471 or send e-mail to telecom@jmu.edu.

Two-Way Radios (fixed, mobile and hand-held)

Approval is required from the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) for radio products which require Federal Communications (FCC) licensing. All approved items are listed on a mandatory VITA contract. All two-way radio purchases are to be sent to Procurement Services on a paper requisition. Transmitting and receiving frequencies must be included in the specifications attached to the Purchase Requisition. Please contact Matasha Owens for information and assistance.
