I'm actually losing money because I have two phones. (My company pays for a brand new phone and all the mobile data and calls) I could just switch to that phone for the low price of Microsoft intune. But I don't want to stress if I download a sketchy app or something that my work phone would get infected. And the feeling when I get home and toss my work phone to my backpack and don't have to worry about is worth the money I pay for my own phone.
