Service Details
York University have partnered with Rogers Wireless to offer mobile phones.
Requesting a Phone and Wireless Plan
- Staff – For staff members requiring a phone, the department head must submit a request to ask2lit@lassonde.yorku.ca including the staff member’s name and position title.
- Faculty – Faculty members can get a phone through the Rogers Employee Pricing plan, with the monthly cost reimbursed through their PER accounts. Go to the UIT Cell Phone Service Page for information on getting setup with your phone
Important Things to Consider
- Please note that new or replacement phones can take ten or more business days to process. The exact time it takes to ship a phone depends on the vendor’s available stock, and a timeframe for the delivery of a new phone cannot be guaranteed.
- Pricing plans and hardware costs are based on a two year contract term. Phones that need to be replaced in the middle of a contract term are charged at the full hardware cost.
Traveling with your Phone
- If you are traveling with your phone, Rogers offers ‘Roam Like Home’ options for traveling
- There is a charge per day for using Roam Like Home, and includes voice, text and data
- Contact ask2lit@lassonde.yorku.ca to request the current cost of the Roam Like Home charges
- If you are traveling and do not want to activate Roam Like Home, turn off your mobile data when traveling
- It is recommended to use WiFi wherever possible when traveling, even when paying for Roam Like Home, to avoid data overage charges

Damaged Devices
