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.
