Does cellular service offer Account Codes or Authorization Codes?
We are not aware of any cellular company that offers either of these services. This means that it would not be possible to attribute toll calls to separate accounts (e.g., Grants) without a laborious manual documentation process. The process would require the caller to review his or her bill and mark the calls with the Grant ID. Then a staff person would tally the calls accordingly, copy entries of the individual calls associated with each Grant, and post the data to the General Ledger. This process is fully automated when using the campus telephone system and Auth Codes.
