Curious. I have a work phone that I literally never use, and my personal phone just broke. It looks like sim cards from my phone (cricket) and work phone (verizon) are swap-able.. numbers are working etc. So I did some experiment.. 1) work phone - I factory reset it (so no Workspace One or any work-related materials on the phone) and put my personal sim in it. worked. 2) my broken phone - I put work sim in it, network is working. But as expected, Workspace One didnt work on my personal phone and it didnt "allow" it. So I cant have any work-related apps. So my question is... is this going to be ok? Will they know if my work phone plan is not being used & it's sitting in a random phone? Im probably going to just swap them back to be safe, but wanted to see what people would say.
Yep! Most work phones are tracked and have SW like jamf. If the IMEI doesn’t match, your phone will get flagged. Won’t be anything bad, you probably will get an email from security asking to switch to work approved phone. In practice it is a bad thing, depending on exclusivity of work you do, you could also lose your job if it’s stated in the legal.
heh sounds reasonable. I was too scared so I switched back last night but thanks for the insight XD

The app will tell them that your underlying SIM and related information (IMEI) has changed. The question is will they care? With the app/data broken they might not. Or they might send a remote lock/wipe/kill since it contains their data.
