      If corporate wants something, they can provide corporate phones. I keep company and private strictly separate.

        Yeah one of my clients right now  is a major hospital in the area, they currently have work provided phones but they have been told that those are going away because they are too expensive for the it group to have. They’ve then been told that they are going to be using their personal cell phones and they need to install all this extra software on them. Most of these guys being in it have said no and you’re not putting your stuff on my phone and if you want this stuff then you can provide a phone for me. So it’s starting to become a showdown between finance and it. And I constantly reminded them that they are under absolutely no obligation to install anything work related on a private phone. In fact they don’t even need to provide their phone number for contact after hours. And I really hope that they stick to their guns but we’ll see most people end up folding in these types of situations.
