My agency issues cell phones, depending on what job/rank you have. We charged 10 cents a minute for any personal calls you make on the department cell phone.
We have 2 different vendors for cell phones: Sprint and Nextel.
Both vendors have packages giving us free minutes for each phone (nights, weekends, ect..) My dept has a policy in place that allows you to use their phone for personal reasons, but you have to pay for your personal calls. Even if the calls are made during the free minute period.
Anyone have the same B.S. issue with their agency?
I will be looking into carrying my own phone...
