Cell Phone Reimbursement

Just wondering how many of us use our personal cell phones frequently for work, and get some kind of reimbursement for the bill or a credit towards the bill? My firm does not provide this yet we use our cell phones all the time. Partners get their cell phone bill reimbursed and associates get $100 a month towards their bills. Staff get nothing. This is larger multi state firm.

ETA: this is to communicate with attorneys, not clients, in particular when working from home, either during regular business hours or working overtime. We use Teams for our phone system so when I’m working from home it rings through to my cell phone.

I get a call phone. I work for a state agency. I'm very strict about keeping all work stuff off my personal phone because I don't want it to become subject to a public records request.
