iPhone Supplier

[AngryITGuy]

Our school is looking to purchase some 16GB 3GS iPhones for SLT and other members of staff.

 

They have decided to purchase the iPhones outright without contact.

 

Seems everyone is willing to use their own personal contract rather than having to go through the hassle of telling everyone their new number and having to carry two phones with them.

 

Can anyone recommend a supplier or quote me for 10 phones please?

 

Does anyone know if you can purchase them to work on all networks or do they have to be unlocked?

 

Two of the phones will be on Vodafone whilst the others on O2.

 

Have tried the LEA and they only supplier Vodafone devices.

 

Cheers

Have you tried going direct to Apple? We have to buy 60 odd 3G versions last year and they were really helpful. Personally we dealt with the business account manager in our nearest Apple store (in our case Exeter).

Get that bit in writing, otherwise they'll start complaining after a while.

 

Nice though - a school provided iPhone...

MattGreaves I don't suppose you could PM me the contact details could you?

I tired contacting Apple via their website and also their Apple Education teams - both very UNhelpful! If you have a decent contact I'd get in touch straight away!
