Verizon Announcement - 11/15/07

University of Iowa employees are eligible for a total of 4 discounts:

  • Reduced phone pricing
  • Waived activation fees on 2 year contracts
  • 18% monthly discount on service (applicable on lines of service on qualifying plans $34.99 or higher)
  • 25% accessory discounts

The account must be in the employee's name to receive the University employee benefits. 

Verizon can move the current, University paid, lines of service to the employee's name via the Assumption of Liability (AOL) process. All University of Iowa paid accounts should be coded as government accounts. The accounts that are coded as government accounts typically can not be accessed by Verizon Wireless retail associates or authorized agents.

Verizon has designated a person, Ashley Stephenson, Ashley.Stephenson2@VerizonWireless.com, to manage the AOL process.

Because of the potential large volume of AOL's that will need to be processed, the expectation is that it could take 10-14 days to process the AOL paperwork. If employees plan to be compliant with the University policy by January 1, 2008, it is imperative that the individuals submit their requests as soon as possible.


Please sign and scan the documents (the AOL form and the RYL form) and email them, along with the employment verification to: Ashley.Stephenson2@verizonwireless.com or fax the paperwork to 847-706-7875. Ashley Stephenson, 515-418-8257, will work with our Area Operations Team to complete these requests.

Another key point is that it is crucial that the AOL form be completely filled out. If any information is missing the paperwork will not be processed.

If a University of Iowa employee already has a line of service and wishes to receive the discount they can send in the RYL (register your line) - End User Enrollment form with employment verification. The discount will be added in 1 to 2 bill cycles. The account must be in the University employee's name (it can not be in a child's, partner's, or spouse's name). Again, the 18% discount is applicable on lines of service on qualifying plans $34.99 or higher. 

If you are an existing Verizon Wireless customer and would like to upgrade your existing line of service or get new service contact Jeff Pritchard, Jeff.Pritchard@VerizonWireless.com, 515-321-2010.
