You are correct. That is the point that I was making. The branch was running BESX and the client phones had BIS data plans. In order to bring them into our BES, they would have had to switch to Enterprise data plans. IT supplies the CALs, so that wasn't a consideration. It was just the BES data plans they would need. The monthly increased cost of the data plans was more than just giving up the BBs and going with Android.
After almost a year of managing the 3 platforms, I wish they had gone with iOS instead. I am really growing to hate managing Androids. Every manufacturer customizes and then each phone carrier craps them up even further. If I could, I'd root them and and standardize the ROM. iOS is not as manageable as BB, but close in terms of standard interface and apps, and the profile/certificate system. But, I digress. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development [cid:39F5F71D-F7D2-4099-AA63-3D9785EA0CAA] On 3/5/12 4:20 PM, "Jesse Tie-Ten-Quee" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On 2 March 2012 23:14, Art Alexion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: In fact, we had branch users who were using BESX and switched to Android just to avoid paying the BES data plan.
