The University’s recommended method to purchase cell phones and to pay recurring cellular bills is with the UW ProCard Ghost Account which is restricted to telecom charges only. If you currently do not have a Ghost ProCard, please go to the UW Connect Card Services Form for creating a 'Ghost ProCard application'. Once you have your cell phone ghost ProCard, proceed with the following steps:
- Ensure that your cellular account will automatically charge to your ProCard Ghost Card account on a monthly basis using the appropriate spend category for this type of expense. You will be responsible for viewing your account information for accuracy and approving the payments on-line in a timely manner or according to your payment due date. Any late/penalty fees or invoice disputes will be the responsibility of the cellular user and the department.
- After you have obtained authorization from your department administration you may contact the cellular phone company and have them help you decide on the proper phone and accessories.
