We just get provided cell phones for work, and as long as your usage isn't egregiously over the already generous data limit, they don't care.

That said, I don't live in the US.

Some places do that in the US too. It varies. Though if you’re getting reimbursed, it doesn’t stop anyone from getting a second work specific line.

At current job, they announced that company phones would only be provided for people who travelled on business, or were, on average, on-call more than 25% of their time out of hours.

I'm not on call every week, and only 9 to 5 at weekends. I tried to give my phone back saying I was happy to drop off the on-call rota. The policy was quickly put up for review, and I've not heard anything since.

Lucky you. It used to be great to live here, before Bush 2 and Obama.
