Discounts on smartphone services are available to students, faculty, and staff. Faculty and staff can visit the Purchase, Pay, and Travel Mobile Phone Program page for details.

For University Use

Pitt IT can help faculty, staff, and departments acquire smartphones and other mobile devices for University use. We can also help you find a device and plan that's right for you and your department's budget.

  1. Research available phones from vendor websites: AT&TT-Mobile, and Verizon.
  2. Review University discount programs from carriers via PantherExpress. Discounts may not be available for all vendors.
  3. Submit the online Mobile Device Request.

The Technology Loaner Program (for International Travel) offers loaner laptops, iPads, and smartphones to individuals traveling abroad. This lessens security risks while allowing full use of required software applications. Devices are available to faculty and staff for the purpose of conducting University business and program activities during international travel. Complete details about the program are available on the Pitt Global website.
