Mobile Phones In Schools

I saw a remote wipe app for android, just send it a particular SMS and it does a factory reset
Remote Wipe for root users for Android

theres probably an app for the iphone, then again.

You can remote wipe on any device in Exchange 2010, unless I've dreamed doing it - which is faintly possible!

I'd have a word with your local authority too, mine told me they can get a contract for £4 a month with unlimited voice calls to same network, more for data and no handset, but its not too bad.

That'll be through the OGC contract :)

Blackberries aswell can be setup so that if the passkey is entered in backwards it alerts the police and sends its location gathered via GPS. (not sure how it works but thats how my dads work one does it!)

Our LA mobile contracts are all through Vodafone.

The caretakers, and other various support staff (PSA's, Extended Schools Co-ordinator, Transition Worker) as well as the bookable 'school trips' phone have a basic handset.

The headteacher, Deputy Head and School Business Manager have blackberries. We get sufficient contracts that a lot of inclusive minutes as well as data charges are included - not so much texts.

Must admit the OGC Contracts are very good, I am going to look at our mobile phones after i've finished with the land line call packages which are on my current to-do list as I've done the Phone System Maintenance contract now, so its land lines them mobiles :) That should improve things as we currently have various options, prices, packages etc so I will need to get more info on the OGC one on my own rather than via the LA buying system as that is quite expensive as I don't want them to be too costly, just a shame I cannot staff purcahse one for my own use as I spend £10 a month on my phone but don't really want 2 phones again like I used to have.....

Thanks for all the feedback guys... Brilliant.

I now have several options in the pipeline... OGC seems to be the way to go.

Will update when SLT choose...

We are with Vodafone, we have 2 Blackberry's, 1 LG Arena (mine), 1 samsung Soul, and 11 Nokia 6300.
