content: It's very common among companies which have a bring your own device (BYOD) policy to implement their own network policies (and if they haven't implemented basic network policies and security, then they are morons).Just be careful because with BYOD policies, it can easily blur the lines of what is personal and what is company data. You could also find yourself on the wrong side of your companies internet policy if you're using their Wi-Fi network and syncing all your personal applications.Not saying you'd be posting rubbish on Facebook or syncing dodgy files to your Google Drive, but these are things a lot of people don't think about.

content: So if that's their mobile policy, when are they gonna hand you a $500 phone that checks email and makes phone calls worse than a 2003 blackberry?

content: The only thing I wanted to access was the mail, just as I do with my own PC at home using web access. There is no policy to wipe my home PC.I'd just be using it to casually provide simple answers via email email exchanges, and that is the only access they allow from non-company devices. It was convenient to have an inbox notification.
