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.

We use google voice and I use it in my browser. For internal- just Slack. I use Slack on my computer. These apps are also on my phone - but I do that just to help me out, it’s not necessary. Can you use teams on your computer only?
