I had that problem too. Then I submitted an expense report and my
company refused to pay because they hadn't authorized me to use my cell
phone for "work" purposes. I mentioned that the VP of IT and other
senior management call me plenty and if they'd like, I can simply not
answer my phone, since it is personal equipment. Reimbursement was
pretty easy after that.

We're very low tech here: Users with my home and cell phone number
neither of which are paid for by my employer. I'm thinking about
changing over to a 900 number to make some money out of the deal.

I'd like to get some feedback on good communication/paging devices for
Oracle DBAs. I currently have a crappy old Nokia phone that can recieve
email, but it's not very good for this purpose. Are any of you using
devices that work really well for DBA alerts? The Treo and Blackberry
units look nice, but they are expensive. Are they really worth the
expense for this function? I used to carry a clam-shell Motorolla pager
that was useful, but too big for comfort. A phone/pager combination
would be ideal I think, if it works well :-).
What are you guys using that you like/don't like?
Best regards,
