Long Distance

Carnegie Mellon University has contracted with MobileSphere to provide highly-competitive domestic and international long distance. MobileSphere’s Utalk pre-paid service enables students to place low-cost calls from a residence, mobile phone, and any off-campus phone throughout the continental United States.  MobileSphere allows seamless international calling from any cell phone at significantly reduced rates. Wireless users will be able to place calls from an existing cell phone, using a current plan, for a fraction of the cost with no hidden charges or a PIN to remember.
