• Abbreviated dialing is available for on-campus use.

Pager Costs: Costs for monthly rates vary, depending on the type of pager and coverage you choose.

Returning a pager: Follow the directions for returning a pager to Telecommunications.

Lost, stolen, or damaged pagers: UCSD employees whose pagers are lost, stolen, or damaged beyond normal wear and tear will be charged a fee.
