Phone Bills

Reviewing your phone bill

Within Cal Answers the IST Billing dashboard provides recharge costs and details for services performed by Information Systems & Technology (IST).  

How to Reimburse for Personal Calls

Please review your IST bill for any personal calls.  University policy states that personal use of University resources is prohibited, including telephone services. It is understandable that some personal calls may be unavoidable during business hours though; however, these calls should be kept to a minimum. It is recommended that a personal calling card be used instead when making personal long distance telephone calls. You may reimburse the school for charges for personal calls by personal check made payable to the UC Regents. Please submit reimbursement checks to the Business Office.
