Cell Phone
The Faculty Leader (FL) is expected to carry a cell phone for the duration of the program so that in the event of an emergency, the FL can contact the Study Abroad Advisor easily via phone and vice versa. Exceptions can be made for programs conducted in rural areas or countries where GSM or CDMA cell coverage is not available. The Study Abroad Office urges faculty who are interested in conducting programs in countries where cell coverage is not available, to carefully explore the possibility of obtaining a satellite phone or working with a Third-Party Program Provider that can provide a satellite phone.
The Study Abroad Office is able to provide a discount cell phone service to K-State Faculty Leaders and students through PicCell, www.piccellwireless.com/k-state.
For descriptions of GSM and CDMA cell coverage, please visit the following websites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA
