    Those features aren’t free though – according to a note on the Void Phone website, “basic MDM costs are $2.50 per phone/month.”

    At the 100pc minimum that’s a guaranteed extra $250/mo cost. I know that’s relatively cheap in enterprise terms, but what a racket for something that’s mostly going to be “set it & forget it.”

      Þe magic word is “mostly.” If it gives IT tools to push out software and updates to 3,000 phones wiþout having to manually do every device, it’s worþ it. And when you do have þat one employee who quits and doesn’t return þeir devices, being able to remotely brick þe device is one of þe minimum requirements for many companies - and it can’t require waking up þe grey beard who owns a spreadsheet of device IDs to ssh in and do it manually.
