Might as well leave your phone as well together with your laptop.

It really makes me mad that you have some PepsiCo employees who work really hard, get no recognition and/or they get laid off. Then you have those PepsiCo employees who are constantly on their cell phones, Facebook, etc. Get off your phones/Facebook people!! You’re being paid to do a job not to express your political opinions, etc., during work hours!!!

What's the Vz USA policy , is porting out of corporate cell numbers our allowed at exit?

International employees are told that it's policy that numbers can be ported out if you can prove you ported your number in when you joined.

It was difficult enough to figure out when I worked for VZ how getting the promotional 'free' new devices worked, but they are definitely not free and I've been paying what I was subsequently told was a discounted rate for them. Glad I get 50% off my mobile bill because I'm still paying $200/mo.

If I were to switch carriers now, I'm sort of assuming I would be handled like a non-employee customer and my entire device balance becomes due? I couldn't get a clear answer out of customer service today as to how much I would owe which is my typical experience with them. I looked through all 8 zillion severance docs and couldn't find any mention of this.

Wonder if TMOB is still offering to pay off devices. I mean I like my VZ service especially for international travel, but I don't like the $200/mo bill now that I'm unemployed. I also don't know if this would get rid of all the plans like $5 Neflix or if that's tied to my FiOS account. We sure don't make things easy or transparent for our customers. Well, ex-we.... I need to stop thinking like I still work there. After so long, it's hard to switch off that way of thinking.

One or two a day ... What's the best place to sell them?

Anyone here ever dealt with the stunt where leadership tells people to “just text me on your personal phone” so nothing hits the company servers? A lawyer friend spelled it out: that move doesn’t protect the company, it protects them from you. Once it’s on your device, you’re the one holding the bag. They can step back, say “we never authorized that,” and suddenly it’s your problem.

If it’s such a huge legal risk to the employee, why don’t companies ever mention that part? Or is that the point?

That T-Mobile gives a 75% employee discount on phone plans.

Process that.

Everybody that’s scheduled to work on thanksgiving please don’t show up !!! A lot of us will not show up for the stupid ridiculous cellphone policy !!! Everybody call out !!!

So i can switch providers.

iPhone 17 is now available for employees. Get it before holiday season rush.

Honest question about FMP next day options. I'm curious what services for cel phone did people move too? I seem to have found a good deal at Mint and with the Duel eSIM thing I found it rather simple to spin up a second line to migrate away from T. It was 90% less than what T changed my bill to after the loss of the employee discount. Did anyone find better deals ?

Tip: if you have a company iPhone, I recommend that you associate it with your personal phone for 2FA before separation. You may need to get access to the account after your company phone number and email are disabled. I had some personal AirTags associated with it and it was a helluva job to regain control of them
