Company cell phones (Verizon/Balckberry) for company use only, We can us it if we need to for personal use in a pinch. All the minutes are pooled and Cell to Cell is free so we never run out of minutes.

We were given $20/month for use of our own (personal) cell phones, last place I worked. Currently one, I'm provided a Blackberry (cells for the techs - I'm Office Manager at the new gig).

My phone, my minutes, I choose who I talk to. I dont answer unless I know the number.

Free phone and minutes. Have a prepaid personal phone for the family to call me on, boss and customers don't have that number, and they aren't getting it. Work cell phone stays on the desk when I leave here, stays in the car turned off if I go straight home from my last call.

Always had work provided phone, used to have to pay for personal calls but now she is to busy and doesn't send the bills downstairs.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I'm trying to get my boss to revise his policy for the phones to a fair point for tech's and for the company. Your input has been helpfull.

No compensation.............

Guess our company is one of the few that don't provide or compensate for phone use. I would expect them to pay me for any out of area or overage charges, though. That hasn't happened, yet.

I was there at one time also.It sucked! I hope you get some kind of comp soon, Or I would say what the other tech's in my shop say "No comp No phone". My battle now is fair comp for both sides.
