Sounds like you should let your employer provide the phone if you don't have any preferences and they require it?



Because I'm an independent contractor as far as the way I am paid. I get all of my pay with no taxes and I do the deductions/tax stuff each year.

So when I buy this phone I will keep the receipt. And since it is used only for work it's a write off for me.

But that is why my employers are not dealing with it.

There are all sorts of factors, the easiest one is that if they were paying for my phone I could abuse it. If I buy it and all my pre-paid minutes myself and keep records it becomes free for the most part because I expect to use it rarely. Thus I won't use many minutes.
