OSU Wireless-Cellular: "Family Plans"
On July 6th, 2005, UNITS implemented a new set of OSUWireless-Cellular plans through Sprint. These exclusive plans offer the option to "pool" minutes between multiple phones (up to 4 total for personal customers; unlimited for business customers).
Check the UNITS website often for the most current information regarding available plans.Sharing minutes on these Sprint Exclusive plans means you can combine individual plans into a larger amount of minutes to be shared by all phones involved. For example, three individual users with Sprint Exclusive plans could be set up as follows:
| User | Plan | Monthly Charge |
| Wireless Phone #1 | Sprint Exclusive 500 | $40.00 |
| Wireless Phone #2 | Sprint Exclusive 500 | $40.00 |
| Wireless Phone #3 | Sprint Exclusive 1000 | $50.00 |
All three users would share a total of 2000 minutes and the "primary user" would be charged $130.00 monthly (plus applicable sales tax).
This differs from the "Family Plans" offered through Sprint PCS retail. Those Family Plans involve sharing minutes between two phones and giving the option to add additional phones for $10.00 per line per month.
ORDERING:
Personal Customers: For one phone/plan, you may order online. To order cellular service for multiple phones, fill out a Personal Service Agreement.
