Note that if you choose the latter, you will wait for everything to

Now: how long did the technician have your iPhone?

I think I was there 15-20 minutes.  That includes authenticating for
the MDM software and transfer of the phone number through VZW portal.
The required Microsoft apps were already preinstalled before I showed
up.

I mentioned earlier, the transfer method used was direct phone to
phone.  Considering this was a work phone, there was very little for it
to transfer since all mail is on the Microsoft Exchange servers and I
don't have personal apps or pictures on it.
