3. The Telephone Office will determine if you are eligible within your existing Bell Mobility contract to upgrade your device at this time and any penalties that may apply.

4. Most often the device will be delivered to the department but in some cases it will be delivered to the IST Telecommunications Office at 138 Machray Hall and you will be notified to pick up the device at that location.

5. In order to start the service on your new device, the SIM card will need to be transferred from the old hardware to the new device. You can perform this transfer yourself or contact the Service Desk at 204-474-8600 who can walk you through the transfer.
