Before the switch, if you have a university phone, you need to be aware of a few things.
- The landline phones, Avaya, will be phased out.
- When you switch to Telia, you will keep both your existing landline (046-222 xx xx) and mobile numbers.
- There will be new subscription types, where the standard subscription allows for significantly more data than before.
- Additional services will change, for example for international calls.
- There will be a freeze period between 9 February–10 March. No telephone enquiries will be handled during this period.
- Urgent cases can be handled; please contact the Service Desk.
New SIM cards
The physical SIM card that you have in your mobile phone, e-reader, and similar devices must be replaced. The new physical SIM cards will be sent out starting week 10.
Those who currently have an e-SIM via Tele2 will receive their new e-SIM from Telia. New e-SIMs will be sent out by email around 5 March. The email will contain instructions on how to activate your new e-SIM.
