Users with a “UiB iPhone” must have a private computer available, which is not run by the IT department, and has iTunes installed. This computer must be used to activate the iPhone before use. Firmware updates must also be done by the user on a private computer.
The IT department does not assist in activation or updating the iPhone.

When the iPhone is set up according to the instructions, it may be synchronized with the UiB email and calendar services via a cell phone network or a wireless Internet connection.
In case of problems or errors with the iPhone, the IT department can do basic trouble shooting, potentially a hardware reset (full roll-back to original settings), and, if hardware error is detected, sending the iPhone to approved service personnel.
If the latter should be necessary, the IT department cannot provide a cell phone of the same type of phone to loan while the iPhone is being repaired/replaced.
The IT department does not offer any help with installation, configuration or use of the iPhone except for what is specified here.
