• Why will there be changes to the business phone service?

  The University of Vienna's business mobile phone contract will be reallocated shortly. The future contract will be better tailored to the current communication requirements of the University of Vienna: The use of telephony and text message has changed significantly, and communication via data networks has risen sharply. The new contract now reflects this. The costs are also being optimised in line with the change in usage. In the course of this changeover, some technical and administrative changes have to be implemented.
