I had that problem too. Then I submitted an expense report and my company refused to pay because they hadn't authorized me to use my cell phone for "work" purposes. I mentioned that the VP of IT and other senior management call me plenty and if they'd like, I can simply not answer my phone, since it is personal equipment. Reimbursement was pretty easy after that.

We're very low tech here: Users with my home and cell phone number neither of which are paid for by my employer. I'm thinking about changing over to a 900 number to make some money out of the deal. Jerry Whittle

From: David Wagoner [SMTP:dwagoner_at_arsenaldigital.com] I'd like to get some feedback on good communication/paging devices for Oracle DBAs. I currently have a crappy old Nokia phone that can recieve email, but it's not very good for this purpose. Are any of you using devices that work really well for DBA alerts? The Treo and Blackberry units look nice, but they are expensive. Are they really worth the expense for this function? I used to carry a clam-shell Motorolla pager that was useful, but too big for comfort. A phone/pager combination would be ideal I think, if it works well :-). What are you guys using that you like/don't like? Best regards,
