iPhone information

  • The iPhone is only sold at AT&T retail stores and through Apple. We recommend you identify yourself as a Duke user by providing AT&T with the corporate code FAN 2392531.  Should AT&T/Apple decide to extend discounts on personal lines, you will receive the Duke discount when you use theFAN listed. However, currently Apple and AT&T prohibit any iPhone discounts when in personal name.  See this page for paying for an iPhone with your departmental Cost Center/Fund Code
  • Please read Duke's iPhone information to learn about possible iPhone incompatibilities with Duke services.
