To order a cellular phone or accessories from CITES, you will need to complete the following:

1. Visit the CITES Customer Service office, call 333-1161, or visit the Cellular Telephone Service pages to determine type of phone, accessories, and service plan required.

2. Submit a Purchase Requisition to Debbie Lust, Purchasing Department, 333-1225.
   A requisition, not a DPO, is required when ordering cellular phones.
   
   
   • Request must include the following:
     • List of phones, equipment, accessories, and price
     • User's name
     • Specific address and individual's name that the equipment is to be shipped to
     • Account number for monthly service and long distance to be charged, if different than equipment account number
   • Send the request to:
     • Verizon Wireless, 1515 Woodfield Dr., Schaumburg, IL 60173
     • FEIN Number: 22-3372889
       
       
3. The equipment will be shipped, fully programmed and activated to the address indicated on the Purchase Requisition. The phone is normally delivered in 3 to 5 business days after the Purchase Order is processed.

Note: The University is required to purchase all cellular service using the State of Illinois contract negotiated by Central Management Systems (CMS). See the University Guidelines for Communications page for more information.
