You get a company phone that is paid for.
Can we use this phone for personal phone calls and keep our old cell phone number and just be billed the difference in costs.
^ lol
No, the number is assigned by the bank. Company phone account and personal account are two totally different things.
Hah. I imagine the BB rings a lot as an analyst?
YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GIVE YOU A BLACKBERRY.
Let me repeat.
YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GIVE YOU A BLACKBERRY.
If they give you a blackberry, they will pay for it. Giving you a blackberry and making you pay the bill would be like locking you in the firm's basement after work and then charging you rent. A blackberry is no more a gift than handcuffs would be if they handcuffed you to your desk.
I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that they give you an option to have the Blackberry or not? And they make you pay for the monthly bill if you get one??
^^ listen to this man.
'illin is right on! if your ever in the position to decide if you want a BB, JUST SAY NO
Some BB's will pay for a portion of your personal phone service, though--on top of the blackberry they give you and pay for
Interesting... how much do they pay for? And what's the reasoning for paying for an employee's personal phone service?
