As a Lehigh employee, you are already a VIP in our eyes. But some of the university’s many vendors also think you’re someone special. That’s why they offer us discounts on certain personal purchases. 

Through agreements negotiated with LTS, for instance, you may be eligible for discounts on mobile phone service from three major carriers. Complete information is available on the LTS Website.  We’ll share a brief synopsis here.

AT&T

Select the plan that works best for you from among AT&T Mobility’s offerings. Then, apply the special benefits of the Lehigh program:
 

  • 17% discount on monthly plan costs
  • Waived activation and upgrade fees

Current Verizon Wireless customers can visit a Verizon Wireless Retail Store/Service Center store for phone repairs/replacements only. When visiting Verizon Wireless Retail Stores/Service Centers, please be certain you are visiting an actual Verizon Wireless Retail Store/Service Center NOT an "authorized Verizon Wireless reseller/dealer."

The following addresses indicate locations that are actual Verizon Wireless Retail Store/Service Centers in the Lehigh Valley:

1820 Airport Rd./Allentown, PA 18109/610-266-3660

Very Important Notice!

If you have a contract with another wireless service provider, be aware that there may be penalties for terminating the contract before its term (usually one or two years) is up. AT&T, Sprint and Verizon will not cover penalty payments to other wireless providers, so please check your existing agreement carefully if you wish to convert.

And, as always, certain restrictions may apply.
