Mobile Phone Policy

A mobile phone policy governs both company-issued phones and SIMs and the use of personal phones at work — eligibility, monthly bill limits, handset replacement, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) security, phone use during work, in plants or labs, and while driving. It protects company data and keeps phone use safe and reasonable.
