re: Who has a separate phone they use for work?

With most offices that have VOIP phones, you can download that app and let your cell serve as your desk/work phone. That way incoming and outgoing calls are on your company’s number along with texts etc. After you’re off the clock you click DND and problem is solved. No need to tote two phones.

Sure. How were they able to load their apps on your phone without access to it??

I’ve never had a company load apps onto my personal phone…

So how do you access their email, share point, onedrive, etc?

---

I willingly download the apps on my phone and log in… Are you saying that if I log into my Gmail on someone else’s phone that I will then have complete access to their phone?

No. I’m saying, it’s very simple, if they can load their apps on your phone they have access to everything on your phone.

Who, my company? My company doesn’t have an app. I use third party apps that I choose to download for email and things of that nature. They don’t “load them” on to my phone. I am asking you how me logging into outlook on my phone gives my company complete access to everything on my phone.

Well your company may different. My and my wife’s company requires us to give them our phone to load the apps along with the security shite they want on there, thus full access. For this reason I have a separate phone they pay for and I don’t have to be concerned they have access to my personal phones data.

My wife has done as you have and has 900 contacts on her phone from her last 2 employers that got loaded because she uses her personal cell for work. She’s working through deleting all of them.

I advise against it, they have access, but you do you. Good luck.

My work # is a VoIP use through an app on my personal phone with its' own distinct ringtone from my personal #. I almost never get phone calls on my personal # that isn't scam/spam anyway. Also I can "turn it off" (send all calls to voicemail/pause receiving texts) whenever I want through the app.

I’ve never had a company do this. I’m curious as to how common this is

I’ve always had just one cell phone. Use it for business and personal. And it’s always been provided by my employer. Haven’t seen a bill since late 90s and have no idea what plans cost
