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

[Tim Chown]

Good question.

I'm told the deal we got is the same as St.Andrews, via OGC, so it's
*probable* that the deal/rate is as described here:

http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/staff/tech/Telephones/Mobiletelephonesinformation/O2mobiletelephone/

I will confirm this when I can - the person who did the deal is away this
week.

I'll also hook Jules up with the iSolutions iPhone contact to help ensure
that contract iPhones don't have any 'surprises' for us, as far as 
possible :)

24 months is a long tie-in - that's probably the bigger issue; you will
need to ensure you have 300 + 24*15 = 660 GBP reserved...
