Do consulting firms pay for your phone?

Hi folks,

This may be a dumb question, but do most consulting firms pay for your cell phone (not just service but device)? With the holidays coming around and there being deals, I have been thinking about buying a new phone (mines 4 years old now). I don't want to buy a new phone if my work will pay for it though. Any advice here? As an FYI, I am a graduating senior who will be starting full time in the summer/fall of 2021 at a T2 firm.

Thanks!
