INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., [July 9th, 2026] — Bulldog Nation shows up everywhere, from the student section at Hinkle Fieldhouse to alumni and employees who carry Butler with them long after graduation. Now, Butler University is introducing a new wireless service built for that community. Butler Mobile launches today through a partnership between Collegiate Mobile, Butler University Athletics, and sports marketing leader Playfly Sports, giving Bulldogs a new way to stay connected while putting something they already pay for to work for the university.

Every Butler Mobile payment automatically generates a contribution to Butler University Programs, at no extra cost to the customer. There's no fundraising drive to join and no separate donation to make, just a wireless plan that turns a recurring bill into ongoing support for the programs they care about.

What Butler Mobile Customers Get

•  Flexible wireless plans with no contracts or hidden fees
•  Keep your phone and your number
•  Service on the T-Mobile 5G Network
•  Automatic support for Butler University Programs with every payment
