[OSX-Users] Re: [iPhones on university contract]

[Jules]

Tim, you just beat me to it. We are now ready to take orders on this 
one, Shaun has been aware for a week or so as I have also been having 
ongoing conversations with people in Purchasing about this exact issue.

If you want voice as well, you'll need to get that separately, the 
University really does *not* like paying for voice contracts. You have 
to get special dispensation from the Head of School before the 
University will consider contributing to a voice deal.
