excerpted from housing services website faq…

Q: Should I bring a telephone? How does the telephone system work?

A: Students must provide their own phone (any UL approved phone will work well since the phone lines are analog). Students receive free campus and local calling, but must pay for all other calls by signing up for, and using their personal authorization code provided when joining the MobileSphere U-Talk program.

what is UL?
i’m planning to buy a cell phone when i arrive on the states, and um…
is joining the MobileSphere U-Talk program mandatory? i clicked on
MobileSphere U-talk Program linked, but i couldn’t understand what it is…
is there any limit on my buying a cell phone?

certain company with certain billing system…?
