My personal cell phone is a basic, pay-as-you-go deal. It's my "emergency" phone. As in, "the car won't start", "the train is delayed", and "I've been waiting for 45 minutes, where are you?" emergencies. And I'm VERY protective of the number.
If the office phone lines were down, I'd only use my personal phone in a drop-dead emergency. As in, something that would put my or my boss' job on the line.
Now, admittedly, my view may be colored by the few years I spent as a teacher and I remember how much STUFF I bought for my own classroom out of my own pocket -- including the chalk for the chalkboard! It ran into the hundreds of dollars - unreimbursed. (And it's not a dollar for dollar reduction on your taxes either.) So I have a bit of a problem with employers expecting employees to just spend their own money to do the job they're doing for the employer. Particularly when you consider that, in most place, the admin is not exactly the highest paid employee.
