6-13-2014 – More than 700 employees who use BlackBerry devices recently received emails with detailed instructions to order and activate new smartphones. Users may choose iPhone, Samsung or new BlackBerry smartphones. Upgrading is voluntary, once the user receives the email from IT.

This is part of the initial rollout of MobileACE, a Postal Service program that provides employees with options to replace or upgrade their devices. Additional BlackBerry users will receive similar invitations in the coming weeks.

The Postal Service will earn trade-in credits for returned devices. Each returned BlackBerry will be recycled, supporting the Postal Service’s green initiatives.

Protective cases and other smartphone accessories are available in the eBuy2 online catalog.
