To order a new mobile phone and/or line, please contact tech.support@lse.ac.uk, referencing your school mobile number, (if ordering a replacement handset), and they will be able to assist. Please be aware that there are some contstraints on the supply of mobile phones due to component shortages.
The standard school handset is the latest iPhone SE, which will meet most staff needs as they offer a good degree of security and value for money. The budget holder may request an alternative iPhone if they are satisfied that any additional expense would offer best value for the School.
Please refer to the tariff pages to view the mobile charges: https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/divisions/dts/services/LSE-mobile-tariff
If you wish to buy a mobile phone without a school mobile contract, then there will be a "benefit in kind" tax implication, and you will need to seek advice and approval from the Finance Division before we would be able to proceed with an order.
All handsets must be returned to DTS for recycling or disposal if they are no longer required for school business. This is to ensure that they are securely wiped and recycled.
As an alternative to a mobile phone number, you can request a landline number and it will be associated with Microsoft Teams. This will allow you to make and receive external telephone calls via the Teams client on your PC/laptop, or via the Teams app on a mobile phone. To request this, please contact tech.support@lse.ac.uk.
