# Mobile Phone Contracts

The **Mobile Phone Contract** (Dienstlicher Mobilfunkvertrag) is a university-funded communication service provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] for employees of the Universität Greifswald.

## Application Process
The request for a mobile contract is handled via a digital application form. The process requires:
1. **Identification**: Provision of personal and institutional details.
2. **Business Justification**: A written explanation of why the contract is necessary for official duties.
3. **Financial Authorization**: Specification of a **Kostenstelle** (Cost Center) to which the costs will be billed.

## Hardware and Service Tiers
The URZ offers various configurations based on the user's needs:

### Device Selection
- **SIM Only**: No hardware provided.
- **Standard Devices**: Choice between a basic mobile phone or a smartphone.
- **Specialized Devices**: Provisions exist for "other" or "free" devices according to specific university regulations (§ 3 Abs. 2/3 DA Mobile TK).

### Data and Connectivity Extensions
- **Multi-SIM**: Allows the same subscription to be active across multiple SIM cards.
- **Mobile Data Hardware**: Provision of additional devices, such as USB-UMTS sticks, to enable mobile internet access for notebooks. *Note: The source refers to UMTS (3G), which may be legacy terminology for current LTE/5G services.*

## Legal and Administrative Validation
A digital submission is insufficient for contract activation. The process follows a hybrid workflow:
- **Digital Entry**: Data is entered via the URZ web form.
- **Physical Validation**: The resulting PDF must be printed and returned with an official **stamp** and the **signature** of the applicant to be legally valid.
