OT Advice: Work Phone
Posted on 6/27/14 at 1:00 pm

Need an OT Opinion here. I have a personal phone, which I've had since I was in college. My current company gave me a work phone, which they pay the bill on. My personal phone contract is up in September.
On one hand, I like having my own phone, so on weekends/vacation, if I don't want to answer it or be bothered by it, I can physically leave it. Plus, I have my number.
On the other hand, I'd save about $65/month by dropping it. Plus, I wouldn't have to carry two phones around all day.
What says the OT? Anyone else have this issue?

I put my personal phone on a senior citizen contract. Its dirt cheap. Did this just to keep my unlimited data with ATT. I forward all calls from my work phone to my personal and gave out my work number to everyone.

What my company does is have me pay $15 a month in return for full personal use of my phone. For that price I get unlimited talk, text, and data on an iPhone 5 through AT&T.
Some of the other guys here keep a separate phone but I prefer the convenience of having only one phone and fact it costs me next to nothing.

Will they let you expense your personal phone if you choose to keep it?
A lot of companies will let you expense it because most people will forget to expense it monthly.

I transferred my college number to my company supplied work cell phone seven years ago. I haven't paid a cell phone bill since . Love it !

What about tracking? I don't think you want titty pics on a work phone. That's why I keep both separate.

I went with two phones for about 8 months before dropping my personal phone all together. Started letting people know to reach me on my work cell and my personal phone phased itself out after a few months.
However, in order to be successful at my job it behooves me to be accessible at all times unless my customers/ boss are otherwise notified. I got tired of carrying two phones around.
