SkieDoes Skie provision phones as well as tablets?
Yes. Skie provisions any Android 12 or newer phone or tablet the same way: reset it, skip the Google account, then provision from a laptop or the Provision app. The device type makes no difference to the steps. New models go through a one-time model review, whether they are phones or tablets.
Organisations sometimes assume a tablet product and a phone product are different things. For Skie they are not. Both are Android devices, and both become managed by the same device owner mechanism.
That is why a school can use tablets for students and phones for staff in the same organisation, and why a company can run field phones and shop tablets together. Each device is enrolled for one person or role, sits in a group, and follows the policy and app list of that group. A phone can have calls and SMS allowed or blocked per policy. A tablet that has no SIM simply has no calls.
The provisioning steps are the same. Reset, skip the account, turn on USB debugging if you use a laptop, or pair with the Provision app, and let the run finish. The readiness gate, the token and the seat count work identically. One device is one seat, a phone or a tablet.
The difference you will notice is in the models. Phones from several makers and tablets from several makers each have their own built-in apps, so each model gets its one-time review and profile. Features that depend on hardware, such as calls, a SIM, or a camera, follow what the device has.
Practical tip: when you mix phones and tablets, name your groups by purpose and not by device type, so a single policy can cover a class and a second one can cover staff. See Wi-Fi only tablets and Android versions.
