Do like a friend of mine. He has a 15 dollar a month phone(mint mobile) that he uses for all his job related bullshit. Its all it does and he has no personal accounts on it at all. It kinda sucks that they insist on him using his own equipment for it but its the cheapest way to keep them out of his personal life.
Would you even need a monthly plan for this kind of thing? It just needs to be able to install the app and run it. If it needs internet you can connect to WiFi. You can get a sim free android for about ยฃ50 outright now.
You do if you want to provide that as your "work" number. Unless you're going to jump though VoIP hoops.
Surely your work landline number is your work number? The phone is just to run the authenticator service.
Not everyone has a desk phone (much less a desk).
If you don't have a desk phone (or desk) then you'd have a company supplied mobile if they expected you to take business calls. No?
No. I have a monthly stipend but I don't really take calls outside of teams.
I guess if there is WiFi, he won't even need a mobile data plan, so he could safe lots of money.
