I’ve been tinkering with the idea of switching back to a dumb phone. I haven’t dug too far into the search because every time I do, I get hung up on the apps I need for work - outlook, my work keycard app, etc. Is there any good way to work around this? Keep my current phone with only those apps for work, operating on WiFi, and switch my primary phone? If anyone has examples of things they’ve tried and what’s worked, that would be great. TIA!

    It 10000% a cost savings decision. Executives don’t see why they have to approve a giant bill for company devices when people have their own already. Regardless of how much we point out the risks.

      I am actually used to the company buying you a phone that you use as a personal device, but must then be enrolled in Intune or something similar. It is considered a perk of the job, and a taxable one at that. So the saving is not as obvious in this case.
