Apple VPP Enrollment + Two-Step Verification

[woreilly]

I am trying to get a school that I look after (one 3-4 hour visit fortnightly) set up with VPP. However, it seems in the last few weeks that Apple have added an extra security step in the registration process. I have to enable Two-Step Verification of the AppleID associated with their VPP before I can complete the VPP Enrolment process.

The AppleID site tells me:

 

"You should add at least one SMS-enabled phone number, and verify any iOS devices that have Find My iPhone enabled with your Apple ID."

 

Can this technically be any phone number capable of receiving a text message - thus I could use my own phone - or does it have to be an iOS phone number?

 

My biggest trouble is that I am not due at the school again for another month due to the Easter Holidays and I do not have an iPhone (Android FTW!)

AFAIK it's just a phone number where you can receive texts.

You may want to keep a tab on the iPad you use for verification as you may need it in the future.

I can sort out the first part if it is any phone that can receive texts...only trouble is me not being due at the school to use one of their iPads :/

I have enabled the two-step verification for the main apple ID associated with the school's VPP Program Manager. However, when I try to continue the enrollment process. i.e. going back to

https://idmsa.apple.com/IDMSWebAuth/login.html?disable2SV=true&rv=2&appIdKey=09273cfd6b56a8ce5af52a0153d1d796d364e03a36c6e87ef21e92c77a83ef3f&path=/qforms/web/index/avs&language=GB-EN

 

and signing in with the relevant credentials, I then get told the following:

 

Your current Apple ID is not eligible for using Apple Deployment Programmes. In order to access Apple Deployment Programmes, you need to log in with an Apple ID provided to you by your institution, or create a new Apple ID and enrol your institution yourself.

If I go to 'enroll' again, I get told to use a different 'work email'. I am really stuck on what to do next. Does anyone have any ideas?

What domain in Worcestershire does your email use?

what kind of difference would it make with the domain I'm using?
