If your company provides a free phone for you, do you choose to dual wield a work + personal phone or merge it? Iโm thinking if I should cancel my $70/month plan since the company I will be joining will be providing a free Samsung/iPhone.
I like the hard demarcation you get with two phones between personal and work. If you merge you have to give a bunch of administrative permissions to your company for your personal phone. Also I like being able to play with both an android and an IOS phone (if you choose different OSs for your personal and work devices)
Separate phones, always. If your phone belongs to the company, they always have a right to seize it or wipe it at any time.
Bingo bango. The drawbacks of working for a small contracted call center (in a prior lifetime). Work email required an Exchange profile be loaded (no mail alternatives) which as a condition requested permission to be able to wipe the phone if administrator chose to. Went to my car, grabbed my old android out of my bag, tethered it to my iPhone and said sure ๐ have at it.
Nice, I do the same with an old iPod at my current job. ๐
Same phone. You can choose to add a work profile in Android, so the company can't just remotely wipe everything. And even if they do, what data isn't automatically backed up to cloud these days? New phone every year + phone plan is easily $1k+ in expenses. Why not offload it to the company?
One phone, save $$
Definitely dual wield just to keep your data private.
I dual SIM. I can't turn off my phone anyway because I work in a position that requires I am contactable in case of emergency, even though it rarely happens.

Everything seems great with this guy, except basic attraction. What to do? My friends say itโs no big deal
Dual wield. Keep work and personal stuff separate.
Agree. Be able to ignore one phone when you need to, or leave it at home.
