But how does a company deal with securing personal phones? It's a dicey issue.
Well not really, I give people $40 bucks a month toward their phone bill and supply a phone of their choice and it belongs to them forever but even if I wanted the phone back all that information is on the symcard. The phone is in the employees name and it is there account. I am paying $40 a month toward their phone bill regardless of what they want for service. If they do not want to do that then don't work for me. It is a job requirement and part of the deal you make with me on hire. Most people all ready have cell phones so it is usually a bonus for people. I think it is a pretty fair deal but if I call you it is for a reason so you better answer the phone. The people that I require to have Blackberry or smart phone accounts Get almost another $100 a month and again it is their smart phone.
