If you have a university-purchased cellphone, follow the activation instructions that came with your phone.  This is done typically by calling the Verizon activation portal (1-877-807-4646) from a separate device.  DO NOT CALL FROM EITHER YOUR OLD PHONE OR YOUR NEW PHONE. V FDCV J.png
On your new phone, go to the App Store and search for Duo Mobile and then install the app.

With the QR code on your computer screen, pick up the new cellphone, open the Duo Mobile App (if prompted, be sure to allow the app access to your camera) and tap the + button in the upper right. 

Hold the phone up pointing at your computer screen to scan the QR code.  Once successful, you will notice a checkmark on the computer screen and you can then click Continue.
