Personal use on the job is a no no anyway, so this is really a nonissue. Personal use smartphones should be banned from the workplace. Too easy to play video games or watch videos. If I had a business, you would have to check your smartphone at the door before you entered work.

Personal use time, I want to be able to ask response questions without having a back and forth for 2 hours. It's much easier to just talk someone than txting. If it's a simple "I am almost there" or "on the way" txt sure. If it's asking what do you need at the grocery store or want me to explain something, your ass better be calling me or you aren't getting a response.

Ahh, see thats cuz you work in a high security type deal. In my office they actually pay a small portion of my phone bill since I have to use it for work related stuff alot of the time. I am constantly tracking down my co workers via text while they are out on smoke breaks since I cant leave my desk. Not to mention the random work related crap I get late at night for unimportant stuff that could be handled in the morning. Everyone but me here spends about 90% of their time or more on personal calls, both office phone and cell. One more reason I hate phone calls.
