BYOD does not mean the employer has access to the device, it means that the device is used for all work related purposes that would require such a device. In some jobs, that might require giving the employer some control, but that is not nessasary.
The main benifits I see are: not having to carry two phones, and having more freedom to choice what device you use.
- darklajid 12y agoBut you can have the cake and eat it too: Company lets you decide what device you want, pays the bill and - allows you to use it privately. I gave my mobile contract to my wife, only use my 'business' phone now. Private calls are explicitly allowed (most calls are free anyway, in this contract). Some common sense is required: Calling a dating line is probably stupid, talking to relatives in somewhere-over-the-sea is out as well. The only 'real' limitation I have is that I should avoid excessive texting (I .. write one sms a month, maybe, anyway. Nothing that concerns me), due to the way the contract works. So: - device of my choosing - only one device on me - I call my friends and family using said device
- FireBeyond 12y agoYes and no. I've heard of multiple occasions where (accidentally, at least - though I'm sure it could be enforced by more callous types) people have linked their phones to corporate Exchange/BB servers. Leave the company and IT duly remote-wipes the device to ensure there's no corporate data left on it.
