Re: Iphones in EDU

Cost is probably the only factor for us. Unless your school has more money
than it knows what to do with, it would not be worth the effort.

Initial Cost:
$1,000 per 5 people

Monthly Cost:
$120 for unlimited plan
$150 for message & data plan on all phones
$80 for additional lines
-------------------------------
$350 minimum per 5 people

$4,200 minimum / year / 5 people

If your school has 50 faculty, you are looking to spend $42,000 a year on
cell phones.
