Verizon Wireless provides Faculty and Staff with an Extranet site to order equipment and service. For service and equipment rates and details, log in toPenn State Personal Cellular Discounts at https://webapps.moc.psu.edu/cellular/personal.cfm. Existing employee accounts can register their lines at this site under "Existing Customers", click on  "Register Your Line" and enroll for the discount.

NOTE:  SHOP ON-LINE FOR THE BEST PRICES AND SPECIAL OFFERS WHICH ARE AVAILABLE ON-LINE ONLY!

Employees can maximize their benefits and save by using the Extranet site and My Verizon.  New employee accounts and existing employee accounts should go to www.verizonwireless.com and register for My Verizon. Once registered, employees can upgrade phones through My Verizon on the My Services tab and avoid the $20 per phone upgrade fee now charged at retail stores.

When using My Verizon, employees have free access to Backup Assistant. This is a program used on existing phones to make a copy of your phone book and sync it to your new phone. This avoids the $10 phone book transfer fee charged at retail stores. There are detailed instructions on how to do this within My Verizon.
