Business Mobile Phones

Mar 4, 2015 8:43AM PST

Hello All,

We are looking to invest in providing mobile phones to our employees. Before we do this, we would like to know what other people are using. So if your company provides mobile phones to employees, could you please take a moment to answer the following:

1. What brand of phone does your company provide? (i.e., apple, android, microsoft, etc.).

2. What is the mobile provider you are using?

3. Any other relevant information that may help us in making an informed decision.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

We called in Sprint, ATT and those carriers offered devices and plans. Only your newer IT staffer would try to avoid such calls for bid.

Written just like a IT empire builder.

Don't get me wrong here. I applaud the idea as you tell your management you want to support all the phones and then build up your staff to port the company apps to 3 platforms, server backends and more.

Once you do a few of these you find that the cheap exit is to pick one. But then how to build your empire?
