Apple ID on Company-Issued iOS Devices?
-
@wrx7m If you have an account rep at AT&T, you can ask them to find out for you. I can buy from an Apple store and there business portal.

@mattbagan - Thanks for the heads-up. That is weird.
Ours come almost exclusively from AT&T and Apple. We are a consumer electronics manufacturer, so we also have a collection of iPhones that are used for testing but never deployed for production use with our IT systems; we get those from a variety of sources.
Most of the larger VARs will be able to register to your DEP account.

Just got off the phone with Apple for the verification and got signed in. For some reason, I was not able to use the email address that I had signed up with as the login email, so I had to create a new alias for it. Dumb.

It took me 6 months to setup DEP and VPP. It was a pain. So many hoops to jump through. With DEP, you do not have to worry about having one master AppleID. Users can use their own. The whole point of DEP is to supervise devices better so you can clear that damn activation lock.
With Jamf we did it in about 2 hours.

Jamf is expensive, but it makes life so much easier once you have it set up.

@kelly - Yeah. I think Jamf have a 25-device minimum. I was looking at it for the 6 Macs we had. I don't know if it makes sense to do the iPhones MDM on it, since we also have Android devices that I need to manage. Hmm
